What’s changing
In Looker Studio connections have been shared by default, but now you can use them across Supermetrics products (Excel). Shared connections allow you to authenticate to a data source account once and make that connection accessible (shared) with your team. Team members won’t have to log in again — they’ll be able to use your shared connection to fetch data.
You can keep a private connection private and unshare it with your team. However, it’s good to keep in mind that unsharing a connection will break all queries built with this connection.
