Hi all - question - I see that
Looker
metadata ingestion has a nice set of permissions so that I can query the API. However,
LookML
ingestion via API requires Admin level access. Is there a specific reason for this? Trying to get Admin access from my boss so any extra info can be useful! Thanks! 😄

Hi @gentle-father-80172 the looker connector tries to resolve connection - db mappings by calling the API and unfortunately that requires admin level permissions. 🤯
To avoid using the api you will have to provide this mapping manually using the connection_to_db_mapping specification
You also need to provide the project_name for the lookml project.
