Permissions required to update a dataset

Question

I am trying to update a BigQuery dataset but this operation is unsuccessful and it tells that I don't have permissions for the following operation. What permissions do I need to have to update a dataset? I already have the bigquery.datasets.get permissions.

Kindly help!

At a minimum, to update dataset properties, you must be granted bigquery.datasets.update and bigquery.datasets.get permissions. 

The following predefined Cloud IAM roles include bigquery.datasets.update and bigquery.datasets.get permissions:

• bigquery.dataOwner

• bigquery.admin

In addition, if a user has bigquery.datasets.create permissions, when that user creates a dataset, they are granted bigquery.dataOwner access to it. bigquery.dataOwner access gives users the ability to update properties for datasets they create.
