Can I connect LND with readonly permissions?

Depends on what you want to do with Alby. But if you for example only want to receive payments you can give the Alby extension a LND macaroon with limited permissions.
The following permissions are typically used. Depending on your usage you can limit these permissions. Use LND's macaroon bakery to generate a custom macaroon. (learn more)

  • invoices:read - check invoices
  • offchain:read - display the balance
  • info:read - read node information
  • peers:write - for LNURL-channel requests
  • message:write - sign a message (e.g. for LNURL-auth)
  • offchain:write - to send payments
Note: some lightning web applications using webln.request() might request other calls.
