Possible for embedded Looker users to use Looker Studio connector?

Looker Q&A Looker

We have an application that uses Looker (not looker studio) embedded so that users can view dashboards, explore their data, and create new content.

Some users are seeing the Looker → Looker Studio connector and are wanting to know if they can use it.

Right now I think the answer is no? To use the Looker connector in Looker Studio you need to use an email address that (1) is tied to a google account and (2) is tied to a looker.com login for the instance their trying to connect to. Therefore there’s not a way for embedded looker.com users to utilize the Looker → Looker Studio connector.

Is this accurate? Or is there a way for embedded looker.com users to utilize the Looker connector or Looker Studio?

Yup, I agree! According to Enabling Studio in Looker: “Users won’t be able to use Studio in Looker if they log in to their Looker instance by using secondary authentication.”
