Hi. Looking to connect piwik with Google Ads.

At the moment when I initiate the connection between Piwik Pro and Google Ads, the connection needs the following permissions (as per Google SSO window):

- see all data/campaigns
- edit all data/campaigns
- delete all data/campaigns
- edit budgets
- change payment settings
- see, accept, deny recommendations

Can this be changed to the absolutely needed permissions? Like Read only campaigns/clicks or something?  
And why you’d need access to my payment info for reporting is unclear as well.

Thanks!

Hi,  
The permissions that we currently have are the minimal requirements that Google imposes so that we use to communicate with Google ADS API.
