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.

  1. Enable Advanced Admin, and click on [Workflow History] to open up History Browser
