Inviting people to view or edit a report in Looker Studio

invite people

If you want to set different permissions for different people then you can do that by clicking on the ‘Manage access‘ tab:

access level

Looker Studio allows you to share the link of your report with specific users (users who already have ‘can view’, ‘can edit’ or ‘owner’ permission for the shared report).

You can share the report link by clicking on the ‘Get report link’ option from the ‘+Share’ drop-down menu:

get report link
copy link

If you want to share your report with a large group of people or with the general public then instead of inviting each user separately via email, you can just share the report link by turning on the link sharing option.
