I am a "regular" Mozilla LDAP holder, with no special BigQuery privileges (that I am aware of). I would like to be able to work on lookml-generator. But more than that, I think it's important that "regular" Mozilla employees can at least try to run the tooling without additional gatekeepers granting rights.

I think that casa here actually refers to a non-public data source, so perhaps all that is needed is clear instructions on how to only generate things that are public?

I was able to get around this by hand-trimming namespaces.yaml to the one that I cared about. Perhaps the right thing to do is to:

• document this hurdle
• make it very easy to filter namespaces.yaml to a subset for local experimentation
