With Looker Studio Pro, your organization’s users get collaboration at scale with team workspaces, automated report delivery, personal report links, and more. As a Google Workspace administrator, you get additional controls. For example, you can assign licenses to specific users who need the service, manage data access settings, and review usage logs.
Step 1: Add a Looker Studio Pro subscription
You can buy as many or as few licenses as you want. You don’t need to buy licenses for all your users. You can buy licenses directly online by completing the following steps. Alternatively, you can contact a Google sales representative.
-
Sign in with a super administrator account to the Google Admin console.
If you aren’t using a super administrator account, you can’t complete these steps.
-
Go to Menu
Billing > Buy or upgrade.
Requires having the Billing Management administrator privilege.
- On the side, click More products.
- For Looker Studio Pro, click Get Started.
If this option isn’t available, Looker Studio Pro isn’t currently offered in your country or region. We’ll be adding more locations over time, so check back later. - Follow the on-screen instructions to add the service to your organization’s Google Account.
Step 2: Turn the Looker Studio service on for users
If you already have the no-cost Looker Studio service turned on, your users automatically receive the additional features and enhanced functionality when you assign them a Looker Studio Pro license.
To turn on the service or change who receives the service, go to Turn Looker Studio on or off for users.
Step 3: Link to a Google Cloud project
To finish setting up Looker Studio Pro, you need to link to a Google Cloud project that your organization owns. The project can’t be in use for a different Looker Studio Pro subscription.
You must belong to the same organization that owns the project.
To link to the project:
- Go to Looker Studio Pro.
- At the top, click Link Looker Studio to a Google Cloud project.
- To link to:
- A new project—Click Create new project.
- An existing project—Click Select project.
- Enter a new or existing project ID.
- Click Confirm.
Step 4: Assign Looker Studio Pro licenses to users
Before users in your organization can use Looker Studio Pro, they need a license for the service. For details, go to Assign Looker Studio Pro licenses to users.
Step 5: Make sure user content is moved
Any user with a Looker Studio Pro license can create new content in the linked Google Cloud project. In addition, some users might have been working in a project in the no-cost Looker Studio service. If those users want to keep any of that project’s content and use Looker Studio Pro features with it, they need to move the content into a team workspace or their Sandbox. You can also move your users’ content for them. For details, go to Upgrade Looker Studio content to Looker Studio Pro.
For users to move their content into a team workspace, you or a user must create the workspace. For details, go to About team workspaces.
