About the OWOX BI service account and required permissions
When you create your first OWOX BI project, OWOX BI automatically generates a service account. OWOX BI uses the service account to interact with BigQuery on your behalf for all data collection and data processing scenarios where the OWOX BI user isn't directly involved.
You may grant an IAM role on the Google Cloud project level to avoid repetitive setting processes on multiple datasets, but it's not necessarily required. The OWOX BI service account requires the BigQuery Data Editor role only on specific BigQuery datasets you use in OWOX BI.
NoteTo get your OWOX BI service account email, please go to the 'Shared datasets' page and copy it.
