This documentation page describes how to connect a Looker Studio Pro report or a Looker report to a Looker (Google Cloud core) instance that uses a private connections by performing the following tasks:\n\n- [Find the Looker instance ID](#find_the_looker_instance_id)\n- [Use the Looker instance ID to set up a Looker data source](#use_the_instance_id_to_connect_from_looker_studio_pro_or_looker_reports)\n\nBefore you begin\n\nYour Looker instance must fulfill certain [requirements to be eligible to connect to Looker Studio](/looker/docs/studio/limits-of-the-looker-connector). Additionally, a Looker [admin](/looker/docs/admin-panel-users-roles#admin) must enable the [**Looker Studio** BI connector](/looker/docs/bi-connectors#looker_studio) in the **Platform** section of the instance's **Admin** panel.\n\nTo add a Looker Explore as a data source in Looker Studio, you must have [`explore`](/looker/docs/admin-panel-users-roles#explore) permissions for the model that contains the Explore.\n\nA Looker data source uses [viewer's data credentials](/looker/docs/studio/data-credentials), so any user viewing Looker data in Looker Studio must have at least [`access_data`](/looker/docs/admin-panel-users-roles#access_data) and [`clear_cache_refresh`](/looker/docs/admin-panel-users-roles#clear_cache_refresh) permissions for the model that contains the data source's Looker Explore. Learn more about the [Looker permissions that are required](/looker/docs/studio/overview-of-looker-connector-permissions) to enable the Looker connector, create a Looker data source, and view Looker data in Looker Studio.\n| **Important:** The Looker connector can't connect to a Looker (Google Cloud core) instance that is inside a [VPC Service Controls](/looker/docs/looker-core-vpcsc) perimeter. For more information about limitations of the Looker connector, see the [Limits of the Looker connector](/looker/docs/studio/limits-of-the-looker-connector) documentation page.\n|\n| Your Looker Studio Pro Google Cloud project must be in the same network as the Google Cloud project that hosts the Looker (Google Cloud core) instance.\n\nConnect to a Looker (Google Cloud core) instance\n\nWhen [connecting to a Looker (Google Cloud core) instance](/looker/docs/studio/connect-to-looker), you specify the Looker (Google Cloud core) instance by using either the instance URL or the instance ID, depending on the instance's [network configuration](/looker/docs/looker-core-networking-options#overview):\n\n- Use the **Instance URL** to connect to instances that use a public IP network, including the following types of instances:\n\n - [Public secure connections](/looker/docs/looker-core-networking-options#public_ip_connections)\n - [Hybrid connections (PSC)](/looker/docs/looker-core-networking-options#private-ip-public-ip)\n - [Hybrid connections (PSA)](/looker/docs/looker-core-networking-options#private-ip-public-ip)\n\nIf your Looker (Google Cloud core) instance uses a public IP network, refer to the [Connect to Looker](/looker/docs/studio/connect-to-looker) documentation page for instructions on how to connect to your instance.\n\n- Use the **Instance ID** to connect to instances that use private connections, including the following types of instances:\n\n - [Private connections (Private Service Connect)](/looker/docs/looker-core-networking-options#psc)\n - [Private connections (private services access)](/looker/docs/looker-core-networking-options#psa)\n\nFind the Looker instance ID\n\nTo find your Looker instance ID, from the Looker **Help** menu, select **Looker Instance ID**.\n\nLooker displays the instance ID in the following format: \n\n projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/REGION/instances/INSTANCE_NAME\n\nThe variables in the previous example represent the following information about your instance:\n\n- \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003e\u003ccode translate=\"no\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePROJECT_ID\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/var\u003e: The name of the Google Cloud project in which you created the Looker (Google Cloud core) instance.\n- \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003e\u003ccode translate=\"no\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eREGION\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/var\u003e: The region in which your Looker (Google Cloud core) instance is hosted.\n- \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003e\u003ccode translate=\"no\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eINSTANCE_NAME\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/var\u003e: The name of your Looker (Google Cloud core) instance; it isn't associated with the instance URL.\n\nYou can copy the instance ID to your clipboard by clicking the **Copy** button.\n\nUse the instance ID to connect from a report\n\nNext, you can use the [Looker connector](/looker/docs/studio/connect-to-looker#use_looker_connector) to connect to a Looker (Google Cloud core) private connections (private services access) instance or a private connections (Private Service Connect) instance.\n\nWithin your report, perform the following steps:\n\n1. From the **Data** panel, select **Add data**.\n2. Select the Looker connector.\n3. In the **Enter Looker Instance URL/ID** field, enter the instance ID that you copied from your instance.\n\nOnce connected, you will see the instance listed in the **Saved Looker Instances** list, and it will be listed by the full instance ID.\n\nAdd or remove a public IP connection after connecting to Looker Studio Pro or Looker reports\n\nFor instances that use [private services access](/vpc/docs/private-services-access) or [Private Service Connect](/vpc/docs/private-service-connect), admins can [add or remove a public IP connection](/looker/docs/looker-core-view-console#editing_settings). Adding or removing a public IP connection has the following effects:\n\n- To create new connections to Looker (Google Cloud core) instances that have a public IP connection, you must use the instance URL. No network check is performed when data is accessed.\n- To create new connections to Looker (Google Cloud core) instances that don't have a public IP connection, you must use the instance ID. Private network enforcement is in place for data access.\n- Data sources that were created when a public IP connection was enabled will function only when a public IP connection is enabled. If the Looker (Google Cloud core) instance's public IP connection has been disabled, users must reconnect to the instance using the instance URL.\n- Data sources that were created when a public IP connection was disabled will function only when a public IP connection is disabled. Users must reconnect to the data source if the public IP connection has been enabled.\n\nTroubleshooting\n\nIf you receive an error while trying to connect to a Looker (Google Cloud core) private connections (PSA) instance or to a private connections (Private Service Connect) instance or data source, you may not be on the correct network to access the instance data. Select the same network as the one being used by the instance and retry the connection."]]
