Extracting metadata from dbt Cloud using the GraphQL API requires specific permissions. Without these, the connection will fail or return incomplete metadata.
Note: The metadata extraction is available
only with Advanced Conectivity Bundle (ACB) entitlement.
-
Required permission roles: The user account or service
account must have one of the following roles in dbt Cloud:
- Member
- Account Admin
- Job Admin
- Read-Only
These roles provide the necessary access to the administrative API
used during metadata extraction.
Note:
- The metadata-only permission set is not suitable, as it does not grant access to the administrative API required for the GraphQL-based import.
- The permission requirements described here are subject to change depending on the database version, configuration, and future updates.
