Does the Content Validator show errors for all content regardless of permissions?

The Content Validator in Looker is specifically designed to assist users who have the necessary permissions, which includes "develop" permissions. This design is intentional so that only those with the appropriate rights can access and assess the quality of LookML content. If a user does not have "develop" permission, they will not be able to see errors or any validation messages for the models, views, or explores they don't have permissions to edit or view.

This approach helps maintain the integrity and security of the content in Looker, ensuring that only authorized users can make changes or understand the state of specific content. As a result, the validation process is limited to content that the user has the right to view or modify, hence providing a more tailored experience aligned with the user's access level.
