Prerequisites

Set up the right permissions

You need to provide the following permissions for ingestion to work correctly.

access_data
explore
manage_models
see_datagroups
see_lookml
see_lookml_dashboards
see_looks
see_pdts
see_queries
see_schedules
see_sql
see_system_activity
see_user_dashboards
see_users

Here is an example permission set after configuration.

Get an API key

You need to get an API key for the account with the above privileges to perform ingestion. See the Looker authentication docs for the steps to create a client ID and secret.

Ingestion through UI

The following video shows you how to get started with ingesting Looker metadata through the UI.

:::note

You will need to run lookml ingestion through the CLI after you have ingested Looker metadata through the UI. Otherwise you will not be able to see Looker Views and their lineage to your warehouse tables.
