Hello, I have a question related to Privacy If we want to connect Looker to Elementary Cloud, we need to give the
access_data
permission (source: https://docs.elementary-data.com/cloud/integrations/bi/looker) It means Elementary will be able to access all the data from the warehouse, via Looker API. What is the rationale behind this need? It seems not aligned with the “we don’t have access to your data” position from Elementary

Hey @Jules, I'm checking with the team to get an accurate explanation of why this permission is required for Looker, and will update. Generally speaking - We try to request the minimal permissions possible in the integrations, but can only operate in the limitations the products offer. Note that Elementary uses the token only to access metadata, and only metadata is extracted and stored in your cloud instance.
