## Create a read-only API key (Optional)
While you can set up the Sendgrid connector using any Salesforce user with read permission, we recommend creating a dedicated read-only user for Airbyte. This allows you to granularly control the which resources Airbyte can read.
The API key should be read-only on all resources except Marketing, where it needs Full Access.
## Limitations & Troubleshooting
Expand to see details about Sendgrid connector limitations and troubleshooting.
### Connector limitations
#### Rate limiting
The connector is restricted by normal Sendgrid [requests limitation](https://docs.sendgrid.com/api-reference/how-to-use-the-sendgrid-v3-api/rate-limits).
### Troubleshooting
- **Legacy marketing campaigns are not supported by this source connector**. Sendgrid provides two different kinds of marketing campaigns, "legacy marketing campaigns" and "new marketing campaigns". If you are seeing a `403 FORBIDDEN error message for https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/marketing/campaigns`, it might be because your SendGrid account uses legacy marketing campaigns.
