How to cancel a BigQuery Job that is running in a Magnus Workflow?
Non-admin users can cancel BigQuery jobs that are created by the users themselves. For example, if userA is running a workflow and within that workflow, there is a long running BQ job. UserA can cancel that BQ job within Magnus UI.
As admin, you can cancel any BigQuery jobs.
Important: You must have permission to cancel BQ jobs in the billing project of the BQ job.
