This page explains how to enable or disable Dataplex for your
Google Cloud project. For information about Service Usage on Google Cloud,
see Enabling and disabling services.
To enable and disable the Dataplex API, you need the
OwnerEditor role. For more information about roles and permissions,
see Access control with IAM.
Enable Dataplex
You can use an existing project with Dataplex or create
a new one. In both cases, you need to enable the
Dataplex API. We recommended that you create a new project.
To keep resources created by the
lake within your project, separate from one another, create a project per
lake instance.
To create a project and enable Dataplex, follow these steps:
If you use Dataplex in a project that also uses BigQuery,
be aware of the
effects on BigQuery behavior
when you disable Dataplex.
To avoid additional charges, complete the following steps before you disable
Dataplex.
In the Google Cloud console, delete each lake instance in your project.
To delete a lake, you must first delete the individual assets and zones. For
more information, see Delete a lake.
Select the project to disable the Dataplex API in.
