How to add new connections and data source accounts to Looker Studio

Follow these steps to add new connections or data source accounts to the Looker Studio (formerly Data Studio) reports you create with Supermetrics.

Instructions

Add new connections

1. Click the Edit icon next to your data source (or click Resource → Managed added data sources and click Edit there).
2. Click Edit connection. 

3. In the data source settings, click on the link at the end of the sentence that starts with “To add more/manage user accounts…”
   

4. If you belong to multiple teams, you'll be asked to select one. Choose the team you'd like to add the new account to.

5. Click + Add connection to add a new user account.

Add data source accounts

1. Click the Edit icon next to your data source (or click Resource → Managed added data sources and click Edit there).
2. Click Edit connection.
3. Under Select accounts (this might also read Select pages or Select profiles, for example, depending on your data source) and choose the accounts you'd like to add.
   Be careful with the ALL ACCOUNTS option, as it will pull data from all accounts you have access to and might surpass your license limit
   
   
4. Click Reconnect. 
5. Click Done.

You can add as many connections as you want, but you can only add data source accounts according to your license limits and prioritized accounts you've selected. 

If after adding new accounts you see an error saying The query is trying to pull data from x views that are not listed as prioritised accounts, you're using more accounts than your license supports. Learn how to avoid exceeding your license's account limits.
