Supermetrics supports multiple accounts in its data sources (we refer to these as data source accounts).
Your license determines how many accounts you can connect to Supermetrics in each of your data sources.
To use the same data source with multiple accounts, you can either add more accounts to each data source, or create a new data source for each account.
Instructions

To add another data source account to Supermetrics in Data Studio, follow these steps.
- Open Supermetrics in Data Studio.
- Navigate to Data sources. Click the data source you’d like to add an account to.

- Scroll to the bottom of the page.

Please note that some data sources, including Facebook, will automatically log in users with cookies enabled. Clear your cookies or log out to reset the data source. - Add your account details.
- Reopen your original Data Studio tab, and refresh the data source connection.
- The data source accounts you’ve added will be visible in the data source’s connector settings.
If you update an existing data source to add more accounts, all reports and report elements that reference the data source file also update to include those accounts. To avoid this, follow the instructions below to create a separate data source for each account.
