Other than the "account admin" permission, is there a small permission or role to collect only catalog information?

I am going to use an open source called "datahub" to collect and share metadata information of databricks. (https://datahubproject.io/)

Recently, however, there has been a big challenge. That is, to collect the unity catalog information of databricks, need to have the "account admin" privilege,

Our databricks administrator says that this permission is very dangerous and cannot give token information of the account that this permission is granted to anyone but himsef.

I sympathize with and understand his words very much. Because anyone should never use this authority to collect catalog information and accidentally blow up databricks.

Now what I want to say is this.

Other than the "account admin" permission, is there a small permission or role to collect only catalog information?

Or is there no permission to collect catalog information without looking up metastores?

Error message when attempting to collect databricks unity catalog information using datahub

=================================================
