| Creating a Client | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| A project is the top-level container in the ``BigQuery`` API: it is tied | |
| closely to billing, and can provide default access control across all its | |
| datasets. If no ``project`` is passed to the client container, the library | |
| attempts to infer a project using the environment (including explicit | |
| environment variables, GAE, and GCE). | |
| To override the project inferred from the environment, pass an explicit | |
| ``project`` to the :class:`~google.cloud.bigquery.client.Client` constructor, | |
| or to either of the alternative ``classmethod`` factories: | |
| .. code-block:: python | |
| from google.cloud import bigquery | |
| client = bigquery.Client(project='PROJECT_ID') | |
| Project ACLs | |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^ | |
| Each project has an access control list granting reader / writer / owner | |
| permission to one or more entities. This list cannot be queried or set | |
| via the API; it must be managed using the Google Developer Console. | |
