Solved: Looker Studio Hosting Project - Page 2

Looker Studio requires a google big query billing project to host/run the looker studio report, and permissions to billing project comes through gbq.

Providing access to billing project (for the purpose to read the LookerStudio dashboard) will also provide access to run queries on our team's project, which is not required.

Is it possible to host the Looker Studio read access without having to provide billing access (to readers) to gbq project?

If I am reading this article correctly ... a dashboard in Looker Studio is created by a user (joe@example.com). It appears that when the dashboard is created, the identity of the user creating (owning?) the dashboard is saved/remembered. When queries (views of the dashboard) using that dashboard are executed by others, the permissions to view the content are those of the creator and not (by default) the permissions (if any) of the viewer. This implies to me that viewers (readers) of the dashboard need have no special permissions themselves.
