Hi tonongregory
for the first part of your query (why is required) I suggest to get in touch with our Support team so that this is formally reviewed by our product teams.
For the second part, what I would suggest as a workaround is to create an endpoint that encapsulates these metrics calls using the restadmin context object so that the permission is not checked. Things to be aware of in this case:
- You would be running the rest call as if you were an administrator, so I would suggest to use this to read data (not to write data)
- In certain context, these metrics call may include info from private boards (because you are calling as an admin, so if you do that at the root community level it could include metrics from private boards for example)
Hope it helps,
