When a data source changes ownership, you must claim it in Data Studio to keep your reports working without interruption. Claiming the transferred data source reconnects your credentials so viewers can continue visualizing data seamlessly. If you aren't the new owner, contact them and share this document to complete the transfer.
To complete data source ownership transfer, perform the following steps:
- In the message bar at the top of the page, click need to be fixed. This will open the Resource > Manage added data sources page.
- For each data source in the report shown as "Ownership changed," click FIX IT.
- If you have access to the data set, you'll see the data source configuration page.
- In the top left, click EDIT CONNECTION.
- Make any changes to the data source connection, then in the upper right, click RECONNECT.
If you don't have access to the original data set, you'll need to edit the connection and select a new data set.
Additional information
- Transferring ownership is a 3 step process:
- The original owner must first share the data source with the new owner.
- The original owner can then transfer ownership of the data source to a new owner.
- The new owner "claims" (transfers their credentials to) the data source by reconnecting it.
- As a temporary condition, any reports with unclaimed data sources will continue to work, but will show editors a message at the top of the report. In the near future, these reports may stop working until the data sources are claimed.
- You can see which data sources need to be claimed by editing the report and going to the Resource > Manage added data sources page.
