How to reauthenticate or remove a Looker Studio connector

Sometimes the Looker Studio connectors can have connection issues logging in or maybe you can have an error message with the connector connection. Reauthenticating a data source refreshes your connection to it. This can be helpful also if you need to make changes to your connected accounts.

Your Looker Studio dashboard and data won't be affected by this process.

There are two ways to reauthenticate a connector:



Go to your report on Looker Studio, and click on Add data.



Find the data source’s name by searching for "Dataslayer" on the search bar.



Click on the three-dot menu at the top-right of the connector and click on Revoke access.



Click on Remove and confirm the process by clicking on Remove anyway.

Reconnect to your data source again (make sure you are accepting all the permissions).



If your email appears in the Hub, refresh the login on the arrows icon next to the email. If your email does not appear in the Hub, click "Add new account" to log in.



Finish logging in and configuring the connector as normal.
