A person who can modify a Data Studio asset. (This usually refers to files created by other people)

Editors have **Can Edit** permission to the reports and data sources that have been shared with them. Editors can modify a report by adding or removing charts and controls, changing the dimensions and metrics, adding or removing data sources, altering the styling, or adding and removing pages. Editors can modify a data source by adding new calculated fields, changing field names, types, and aggregations, and adding descriptions.

By default, editors can share reports and data sources with either **Can View** or **Can Edit** permissions, but Owners can [disable these options](https://docs.cloud.google.com/data-studio/ways-to-share-your-reports).

Data source editors can [refresh the fields](https://docs.cloud.google.com/data-studio/refresh-data-source-fields), but they can't edit the [data source connection](https://docs.cloud.google.com/data-studio/edit-the-data-source-connection), or change the [data source credentials](https://docs.cloud.google.com/data-studio/data-credentials).
