Enable or Disable Public Links for Photos in Analytics Reports

The 'Open Photo Link Access' setting allows you to make photo links within your out-of-the-box Analytics reports publicly accessible. When enabled, anyone with a photo link can view or download photos across your company's projects without logging into Procore. This feature is useful for integrating Procore photos into external reporting tools such as Power BI that do not support authenticated links, and for sharing visual data with external stakeholders who do not have access to Procore. You can use public photo links to embed project photos into custom dashboards, display them as data points on interactive maps, or download them directly to a local system.

• Required User Permissions

• Additional Information:

  • Public links are only available for photos.

  • If you disable this setting, all existing public photo links become restricted immediately. Only authenticated Procore users with the appropriate permissions can view or download photos within your Procore account at the company and project levels.

  • By default, all photo links are secured and require a Procore account for authentication.

  • If a photo link is invalid, a company administrator may have disabled or refreshed the link. Reach out to the person who shared the report with you.

  • You can view the history of photo link events in the Audit Log. This log displays the exact Timestamp, the specific Action taken (Enabled, Disabled, or Refreshing), and the email address of the User who performed it. For details on refreshing photo links, see Refresh Photo Links in Analytics Reports.
