Looker has several user permissions that are associated with alerts. Some permissions determine what the user can do with alerts; others determine what destinations a user can send an alert notification to. See the Roles documentation page for more information about Looker permissions, including dependencies.
Looker user permissions are distinct from the alert setting called Permissions, which lets the alert’s creator determine whether other users will be able to view and potentially follow the alert.
In addition to the permissions described below, users need see_looks
permissions and see_user_dashboards
and/or see_lookml_dashboards
permissions for the models on which the dashboard or LookML dashboard tiles, respectively, are based.
