Data Access Issues - Permissions and User Attributes

Fix "Access denied" errors and missing data. Diagnose permissions, check user attributes, request access from admin.

What You're Trying to Do

You're getting "Access denied" errors or can't see data that you should be able to access.

Quick Solution (3 minutes)

Diagnose permission issues:

Step 1: Check What Data You Can Access

  • Ask Zoë: "What data am I allowed to see?"

This shows your current permissions and available tables.

Step 2: Identify Missing Access

If you can't see expected data, check:

  • Are you on the right workspace?

  • Has your role or department changed recently?

  • Are you trying to access PII or sensitive data?

Step 3: Request Access from Your Admin

Contact your workspace admin with:

  • What specific data you need access to

  • Your business justification for access

  • Your current role/department

Can access your data now? Great! If the issue persists, it may be a data model configuration problem.
