Read-only access
datanephew's default permission level — it can see your data, not change it.
What it means
Read-only access means datanephew can retrieve and report on the data in a connected account — traffic, rankings, campaign performance — but cannot make changes: no publishing, no editing settings, no deleting anything.
Why it matters
It is the default for every connection so that connecting a source to answer a question never carries the risk of accidentally changing something in that account.
ask datanephew
Can datanephew ever make changes for me?
Only if you explicitly turn on write access for a specific connector — it's off by default, and you're always told before anything is changed.
Can I revoke access later?
Yes, any time, directly from the connected account own permissions settings — Google, Bing, or whichever service you connected.
