Read access

View-only access across the product.

Read access lets a member see everything in the workspace without changing anything. They can view databases, browse saved queries, open dashboards, and inspect automations — but they can't create, edit, or delete.

Use it for stakeholders who need visibility into your data and dashboards but shouldn't modify them.


What a read-only member can do

  • Databases — view connected databases and their schema.
  • Explore — open and view saved queries and their results.
  • Dashboards — view any dashboard in the organization.
  • Automations — view configured Slack alerts, email alerts, API endpoints, and exports.

What a read-only member cannot do

  • Create, edit, or delete databases, saved queries, dashboards, or automations.
  • Manage members or billing.

Read vs. Dashboard access:

Read-only members can view everything, including the raw data and saved queries. If you want a member to see only specific dashboards — and nothing else — use Dashboard access instead. If they should only see specific rows of data, use RLS.
