Learn more about Looker connector permissions.Before you can view data from a Looker data source that is owned by another user, you must link your Google account credentials to your account credentials for the Looker instance to which the report is connected. An "Authorization Required" message on a Looker Studio report chart prompts you to authorize the Looker connector to link these credentials.
To authorize the connector to link your accounts, follow these steps:
- In the desired chart, click Authorize now.
- In the Looker Studio authorization request pop-up menu, verify the name of the connected Looker instance, and click AUTHORIZE.
- In the Google authorization pop-up menu, click Allow and continue.
You can unlink your Google and Looker accounts on the Account Linking page in your Google Account profile.
Once your accounts are linked, you can view and interact with Looker Explore data that you have permission to access.
Revoke credentials
If you revoke your credentials, the data source will not be able to connect to Looker data. To view the Looker Explore, you must reconnect the Looker data source.
