Google Cloud New shared BigQuery datasets and GCP projects is not visible for my user

Question

I am not seeing new projects or BigQuery datasets that have been shared with me.

My colleague have tried to share a new BigQury dataset with me but it is not visible for me. We have tried to share the same dataset with another user the exact same way without any issue.

We have a similar issue with my user when we try to share any new GCP projects with my user, which have not been an issue in the past.

Information about the setup and my user:

I am using a google account which is part of another organization than the GCP organization we are having this issue with. My user has an editor role to project 1 of the organization. The BigQuery dataset my colleague (who is the admin role for the GCP organization) is in project 2. The other user my colleague successfully shared the dataset with was his private google account. We tried adding my user to project 2 with the editor role, but it did not show up in my project overview as it normally would.

How do we fix this and what can cause this issue?

Answer 1

Let's suppose you have project 1 and project 2  and you've never shared any dataset from project 1 with project 2. The dataset will not be shown automatically. For that you need to follow these steps.

• Go to the BQ Console
• Click on +Add Data just above the search bar.
• Click on pin a project.
• Enter the project ID and click on PIN

After that every dataset inside project 1 that you share with project 2 will be shared.
