Research direction

Start with the linked Tableau community idea and the REST API publish-data-source documentation to determine how BigQuery service-account authentication is exposed. Then inspect the library's existing data-source publishing and authentication entry points. Done means the official library supports this authentication flow with coverage for the new behavior, though the issue names no specific files or tests.

Description

document-api Server-Side Enhancement

The TSC library doesn't yet support the BigQuery Service Account Authentication feature:
https://community.tableau.com/s/idea/0874T000000HBbWQAW/detail

I haven't found a way to do it with the Native API:
https://help.tableau.com/current/api/rest_api/en-us/REST/rest_api_ref_data_sources.htm#publish_data_source

So this seems to be an undocumented feature and the community cannot make the change themself.
Please add this feature to this official library so we can use it!
