- Setup requests a read-only database account; the provider says working copies disappear from its server after 30 days.
Field notes
The setup described on the page has the customer’s IT staff create a read-only database account and provide network access by VPN or IP allowlist. Milkrun says it returns Power Query code with columns matching the source database, so existing report measures and relationships can remain unchanged. The page states that nightly transfers compare checksums and that working copies are removed from the provider’s server after 30 days.
