Google Data Studio Data credential issue

I am attempting to update the data credentials in my Google Data Studio report to my credentials versus viewer credentials. It says it updates but it never actually saves. Any idea on how to update the credentials so viewers without access to GBQ can view my report?

Credentials are used by datastudio to access data from Bigquery when you configure the data source.

Once your report is connected to your data you can make it public and/or give view/edit access to certain users via google accounts. This is independent from Bigquery credentials as viewers of your report do not need access to your database.

You can set the visibility of your report to public, so anyone with the link can see it regardless of credentials:

  1. Click on "share" on the upper right
  2. Then "Manage access"
  3. Then "Anyone with the link can view"
  4. Click on "Save"
  5. At this point anyone should be able to see your report by using its URL, you can test this by opening it in an incognito tab.

Hope this helps, and if not, please send more details.
