Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Add the user as a 'Vertex AI User' on your project.
Why it's wrong here
This grants excessive permissions beyond just reading a specific file.
- ✓
Grant the user 'Storage Object Viewer' role on the Cloud Storage bucket containing the .ipynb file.
Why this is correct
This provides read-only access to the file without granting compute permissions.
- ✗
Copy the notebook code into an email.
Why it's wrong here
This is insecure and bypasses the Google Cloud governance framework.
- ✗
Change the instance permissions to 'Public'.
Why it's wrong here
Public access is a security violation and is not recommended.
