Now that you have built, used, and deployed your
connector, you may want to share it with other Looker Studio users.
If you do not publish your connector in the
Connector Gallery, then any user of the connector will
require read access to your Apps Script project. Without read access their
Looker Studio account will not be able to read and execute the script. You do
not need to share the script link with the users, only ensure they have read
access to the script.
The recommended way of providing access is to
enable link sharing for the project. When shared this
way, the script will not show up in your users' Google Drive.
If you only want to share your connector with a selected group of users, you can
share the script with specific people. When shared
this way, the script will show up in your users' Google Drive and they will be
able to access it directly. This approach is only recommended if you want to
share the script with a selected group of users.
