Changing Ownership of your Google Data Studio Visualization

Imagine you’re working as an intern in a company, and you use your personal account for creating dashboards on Data Studio.

1. Report: Your visualization.
2. Data Source: The data embedded in your visualization. With this, you can change the schema of your report by adding calculated fields, filters, etc.
3. Dataset: The data you want to visualize.
4. Connector: Platform you use to fetch your data. Here, we use Google sheets.
