Connecting to your data creates a **data source** in Looker Studio.\n- **Data sources** represent a particular instance of a connector: for example, a connection to a specific BigQuery table or query, a Google Analytics property, or Google Sheets. Data sources let you configure the fields and options that are provided by the connector that's used to create that connection instance. In addition, the data source gives you a secure way to share information and insights with report viewers who may not be able to directly access the underlying data.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n- **Credentials** determine who can access the data provided by a data source.\n\nBefore you share a report that has been generated with the Linking API, you should make sure that the connection details look correct and that the credentials meet your needs for data security. The *Review data access* dialog box helps you understand where the data in the report is coming from and who will be able to see it.\n\nFor each data source added to the report you can review the following:\n\nConnection details\n------------------\n\nThis section describes the connection configuration. These details will differ depending on which connector was used to create the data source.\n\n### What you should review\n\nBe sure that the [data set](/looker/docs/studio/dataset), account details, and custom SQL (if applicable) are appropriate.\n\n[See the connector documentation here](/looker/docs/studio/about-connectors-data-sources-and-credentials).\n\nUsed in report\n--------------\n\nThis section tells you how many charts use the data source. If a data source isn't used by any of the charts, you can safely remove it by clicking the \"Manage data sources here\" link in the dialog.\n\nYou can also edit and remove data sources after you save the report by using the **Resource \\\u003e Manage added data sources** menu option.\n\nCredentials\n-----------\n\nThe credentials for a data source determine who can access the data provided by that data source:\n\n- **Owner's credentials** uses the credentials of the data source owner to authorize access to the dataset. This option lets you share reports that use this data source without requiring report viewers to have their own access to the underlying dataset.\n\n | **Important:** Before sharing a report or data source that uses Owner's credentials, be sure that you trust the person or persons with whom you share them.\n- **Viewer's credentials** require anyone who attempts to view the data that is provided by this data source to have their own access to the dataset.\n\n- **Service account credentials** use a special type of Google account that is intended to represent a non-human user that can authenticate and be authorized to access your data.\n\n### What you should review\n\nSharing a report that includes data sources that use Owner's credentials allows anyone to see your data. If the report you are sharing comes from a trusted source (for example, Google or a developer in your own organization), and the person you are sharing the report with is also known to you and trusted, then you can most likely accept the default configuration.\n\nHowever, if either the developer of the report or the person you are sharing with is not known to or trusted by you, you may want to use Viewer's credentials for the added data sources. People who view the shared report must be able to provide their own credentials to see the data.\n\nTake action\n-----------\n\nTo change the data source connection details or credentials, click edit **Edit**.\n\nLearn how to:\n\n- [Edit the data source connection](/looker/docs/studio/edit-the-data-source-connection)\n- [Change the data source credentials](/looker/docs/studio/data-credentials)\n\nShare the report\n----------------\n\nTo share the report with the current data source configuration, go to the bottom of the dialog and then click **Continue**.\n\nRelated resources\n-----------------\n\n- [Sharing, access permissions, and data credentials](/looker/docs/studio/roles-and-permissions)\n- [Data credentials](/looker/docs/studio/data-credentials)\n- [About data sources](/looker/docs/studio/about-data-sources)"]]
