+## icinga2 api permissions
+
+I'd recommend creating a dedicated api user for icinga2beamer. This package
+only requires the `objects/query/Host` and `objects/query/Service` api
+permissions in icinga2.
+
+## Github Mirror
+
 This package is mirrored to github. However, the most recent version of
 the package will be found [on my Gitea instance](https://git.kunsmann.eu/kunsi/icinga2beamer).
 Please head there if you want to file any issues.
