User Permission to use dblookup

I have several dashboards that require end users to be able to use the dblookup feature from dbx. Right now, I am having to give the user's the admin role to do this... Is there a specific ability I can give them instead?

For the dbx app, you need the role of your users to inherit from the role dbx_user

Can anyone give any feedback on this?

Also, I have already added this to the local.meta for dbx

[lookups]
access = read : [ * ], write : [ admin ]
