is there a reason we didn't originally specify the the exact permissions needed? the GCP permission model has so many permissions here that seem vaguely related. it took me a few tries to get the right one. maybe there's another combination of Legacy Storage Reader, etc, that works as well? If so maybe we should document it as well.

* **Secret Access Key**
* Corresponding key to the above access ID.
* Make sure your GCS bucket is accessible from the machine running Airbyte.
* This depends on your networking setup.
* The easiest way to verify if Airbyte is able to connect to your GCS bucket is via the check connection tool in the UI.

### `Standard` uploads
This uploads data directly from your source to BigQuery. While this is faster to setup initially, **we strongly recommend that you do not use this option for anything other than a quick demo**. It is more than 10x slower than the GCS uploading option and will fail for many datasets. Please be aware you may see some failures for big datasets and slow sources, e.g. if reading from source takes more than 10-12 hours. This is caused by the Google BigQuery SDK client limitations.
