Encountering a "You do not have access to Google Docs" error when using Supermetrics can be frustrating, especially when you're trying to pull vital data! This specific error message typically means that your organisation's Google Workspace administrator hasn't granted the necessary access to documents within your Workspace environment. Don't worry, the fix is straightforward! 
Understanding the issue 
The error message "We are sorry, but you do not have access to Google Docs. Please log in to your Admin console to enable Google docs." directly points to a permissions issue at the Google Workspace level. Essentially, for Supermetrics to interact with your Google Docs (including Google Sheets), the overall Google Docs service needs to be enabled for users in your organisation by an administrator.
