Supermetrics needs your permission to extract the data for your reporting. Each of the data sources that we connect to has requirements that your account needs to meet before it can grant Supermetrics the right permissions.
Remember that you don't have to use Google or Microsoft account that you use with Supermetrics when you log in to a data source account. Log in to each data source with whichever account has the right access and permissions for the queries you want to run.
