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
Connectivity 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.
