While we understand that a developer would require build access to all datasets in the chain, it is unclear to us why a reader would also require build access to all datasets in the chain (why not just read access). To us this is the main reason why we cannot use this -otherwise great- feature at this point as this way we would not be GDPR compliant. Will this change? Or is there perhaps a workaround?

    thanks for the feedback - yes, this will change. Readers will just need view permission.

        sure - this is the major blocker for us to declare this feature general available. More news to follow soon on the blog.
