Stakeholders can't view my SQL Runner links

Starting in just the past week, we are having an issue in our org's Looker instance where whenever I send out a URL link to a query from the SQL Runner, it's empty for every stakeholder that opens it. 

Just an empty page, no SQL. Link still opens. 

I've checked multiple stakeholders' Looker permissions, and all are listed correctly with SQL Runner (Direct and From User) permission toggled on. 

Is this a bug?

Hi @kneebub ,

Yes, this sounds like a recent change or bug — SQL Runner links no longer carry over the query content when shared, even if users have the right permissions.

I recommend:

  • Double-checking that stakeholders have access to the same project and model.

  • As a workaround, have them copy-paste the SQL instead of using the link.

  • Report this to Looker Support, as it may be a regression or platform update.
