Navigate to the **BI Connectors** page in the **Platform** section of the Looker **Admin** panel.\n2. Either enable the **All Looker BI Connectors** setting or the **Looker Studio** setting. In Looker (Google Cloud core) instances, these settings are enabled by default.\n\nDisabling the connector\n\nTo disable the connector, follow these steps:\n\n1. Navigate to the **BI Connectors** page in the **Platform** section of the Looker **Admin** panel.\n2. Either disable the **All Looker BI Connectors** setting or the **Looker Studio** setting.\n\nMonitoring the Looker connector for Looker Studio\n\nA Looker admin can view Looker Studio usage by using the **Query API Client Properties** group of fields in the [System Activity History Explore](/looker/docs/usage-reports-with-system-activity-explores#history). An entry is created in the **History** Explore every time a new query is run.\n\nIn the **Query API Client Properties** dimension group under the **History** view, the following fields are relevant to Looker Studio:\n\n- **API Client Name** --- This field will always show `Looker Studio` to identify Looker Studio entries.\n- **Looker Studio Dashboard ID** --- This field shows the ID of the Looker Studio report that issued the query.\n- **Looker Studio Datasource ID** --- This field shows the ID of the data source in Looker Studio that is being queried.\n\nThe following example shows a System Activity URL that indicates Looker Studio usage. Replace `\u003cinstance_name.looker.com\u003e` with your instance URL. \n\n https://\u003cinstance_name.looker.com\u003e/explore/system__activity/history?fields=query_api_client_context.name,query_api_client_context.ls_dashboard_id,query_api_client_context.ls_datasource_id,user.name,history.created_date,history.created_time_of_day&f[query_api_client_context.name]=looker%20studio&sorts=history.created_time_of_day+desc&limit=5000\n\nWhat's next\n\nAfter you have enabled the connector, Explores in the Looker instance are available to use as data sources in Looker Studio.\n\nSee the [Connect to Looker](/looker/docs/looker-studio-connector) documentation page for information about using the Looker connector to add a Looker Explore as a data source in a Looker Studio report.\n\nAdditional resources\n\n- [Admin settings -- BI Connectors](/looker/docs/bi-connectors)\n- [Connect to Looker](/looker/docs/looker-studio-connector)\n- [Understand Looker Explore data on a Looker Studio report](/looker/docs/studio/looker-explore-data-on-a-looker-studio-report)"]]
