Admin settings - BI Connectors

The BI Connectors page in the Platform section of the Admin menu lets you enable or disable connections from Looker to other business intelligence (BI) applications.

In Looker (Google Cloud core) instances that use public IP or both public IP and private IP, the ability for Looker users to connect to other BI applications is enabled by default. Those with the Admin Looker role can use this page to disable any or all of these connectors.

In Looker (original), this ability is disabled by default. Looker admins can use this page to enable any or all of these connectors.
