I was given access to a database to use on one of my Django projects. I set everything up and went to migrate the new models and I got an error.

"Unable to create the django_migrations table ((1142, "CREATE command denied to user 'MyDatabaseName' for table 'django_migrations'"))"

After looking into it, I see its because Django is trying to create a new table in that database. I don't have write access and I do not want it because I am pretty new at this and do not want to mess anything up. I am also not sure the owner would give it to me. Is there a way to get to use the legacy database without having to create a new table in it?
