+#### Permissions & Configuration
+
+In order to access Tabulator in unrestricted mode, the caller must:
+
+1. Provide a workgroup with output location set and compatible with that of the
+   Tabulator (`s3://${UserAthenaResultsBucket}/athena-results/non-managed-roles/`).
+
+2. Have the following permissions:
+
+   - Athena query execution on the designated workgroup
+   - Access to the Tabulator data catalog
+   - Invoking the Tabulator Lambda function
+   - Read access to the Tabulator bucket for spill files
+   - Read/write access to the Athena results bucket
+
+Here is an example CloudFormation template that creates the necessary resources:
