I practiced a similar question where we had to balance access and privacy. I feel like the service account option could be a safe way to limit exposure.

I think creating an anonymized sample of the data could be a good approach, but I'm not sure if it would be sufficient for the complex transformation they need to do.

I'm a bit confused on the differences between the roles and how they impact access. I'll need to review the Cloud Platform documentation to make sure I fully understand the implications of each option.

I’m a bit confused about the roles. Granting the Cloud Dataflow Developer role seems too broad for someone who shouldn't access user data directly.

A) Grant the consultant the Viewer role on the project. That's just asking for trouble, mate!

Okay, let's see. I'm pretty sure granting the Viewer role is not enough, since the consultant still needs to be able to actually work on the pipeline. And I don't think we want to give them full Cloud Dataflow Developer access either.
