Many users want to launch analyses against data that's already sitting in their own Google buckets without having to copy the contents of those buckets to their workspace bucket.

If you're trying to point your workflows or your notebooks at an external bucket, you must give your Terra Proxy Group (which you can find in your Terra profile) permission to access that bucket.

You'll need to give the proxy group the appropriate type of permission for your desired use. For example, Storage Object Viewer allows you to read or "pull" files from the bucket, and Storage Object Creator allows you to write to the bucket.
