Reauthenticating a data source refreshes your license's connection to it. This can be helpful if you're encountering issues logging in, or if you need to make changes to your connected accounts.
Reauthenticating can solve these errors, among others:
Error: Invalid credentials
Authentication failed

Troubleshooting
- If you encounter one of the Google errors below, follow these instructions.
- This action is not supported when you are logged with multiple accounts
- This was a reauthorization request for user A but you logged in as user B
- If you encounter an error that reads No accounts selected, it means you haven't selected any accounts when authenticating the data source.
- To fix this, open the data source settings (either by selecting the data source in the sidebar in Google Sheets or Excel, or by selecting the data source and clicking the edit icon in Data Studio), and select at least one account under Select accounts. Note that this option sometimes uses a different name — if you're using Google Analytics, for example, it'll read Select views.
