Is it possible to allocate charges for accessing data to the user who has accessed it

Question

I want that the charges incurred for accessing data on GCP be billed to the user who is accessing that data. Can this be done?

Answer 1

Yes, this could definitely be done.

You can use the Requester Pays feature to require that requesters include a billing account project in their requests. 

The requester's project is then billed for access charges instead of the owner of the accessed bucket.
