API permission with read-only

by default, every user group with "web service access" has full admin rights on the selected report suites. there is no way to reduce the permissions to "read-only" on report suite settings.

improvement:

the "web service access" should only trigger, if a user group is allowed to use the API credentials. the single permissions to read/edit/delete anything within report suites should be based on other permissions (eg. the existing options for user management)

ursboller Wondering if we can close this now that we are in a new world with Adobe I/O, 2.0 Analytics API, and different Experience Cloud user permissions (system admin vs developer role). Please let me know!

jen.lasser​ given the fact the most tools will change to API 2.0 and there is a much better permission management, I agree to close the idea.

I haven't tested the new API, but would expect to work as desired (eg. by giving only access to a VRS basically equals a read-only access, there should be no way to modify the underlying RS).
