BigQuery Data Ingestion
Last updated: February 19, 2026
Overview
This document explains how to grant Unwrap access to your BigQuery data. We use Google Cloud service accounts to securely access only the specific data you authorize.
Step 1: Grant Access to Our Service Account
Log in to your Google Cloud Console at https://console.cloud.google.com/
Navigate to BigQuery by clicking on "BigQuery" in the navigation menu
Find the dataset you want to share in the Explorer panel
Click on the dataset name to open it
Click on "SHARE DATASET" button at the top
In the "Add principals" field, enter our service account email:
unwrap-data-read@bigqueryconnector-452922.iam.gserviceaccount.comSelect the appropriate role:
BigQuery Data Viewer - For read-only access
Click "Add" and then "Done"
Step 2: Specify Tables or Views (Optional)
Give Unwrap access to the tables or views you want to analyze.
Option A: Share Individual Tables
In BigQuery, navigate to the specific table you want to share
Click on the table name, then select "Share" from the actions menu
Add our service account email and assign the appropriate permission
Repeat for each table you want to share
Option B: Create and Share Views (Recommended for Sensitive Data)
Create a view that exposes only the data you want to share:
sql CREATE VIEW `your-project.your_dataset.your_view_name` AS SELECT column1, column2, ... FROM `your-project.your_dataset.your_table` WHERE [optional filtering conditions];Share only this view with our service account following Step 1 above
This ensures we can only see the specific data defined in the view
Security Information
Our service account will only have access to the specific datasets, tables, or views you explicitly share
Access can be revoked at any time by removing our service account from the permissions list
All data access is logged in your Google Cloud audit logs
