Article Progress

Providing access to Google Analytics allows your SEO team, developers, or marketing partners to monitor your website performance and implement data-driven strategies. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process of securely granting access to your Google Analytics account in just a few minutes.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Log into Your Google Analytics Account

  1. Visit Google Analytics and sign in with your Google account credentials.
  2. Make sure you’re in the correct account that you want to share access to.

Step 2: Navigate to Admin Settings

  1. In the bottom left-hand corner of the dashboard, click on the Admin gear icon.
  2. You’ll see three columns: Account, Property, and View.

Step 3: Choose the Right Access Level

  1. Under the appropriate column:
    • Account: Grants access to all properties and views within the account.
    • Property: Grants access only to a specific website property.
    • View: Grants access to specific reports within a property.
  2. For most cases, select Account or Property to ensure the user can manage tracking and reporting.

Step 4: Add a New User

  1. Click on Account Settings > Account Access Management (or Property Access Management under the Property column).
  2. In the top-right corner, click the + button and select Add users.

Step 5: Enter the User’s Email Address

  1. Enter the email address of the person you want to grant access to (e.g., [email protected]).
  2. Select the appropriate permissions:
    • Administrator: Full access, including managing users.
    • Editor: Can edit settings but cannot manage users.
    • Viewer: Can view reports but cannot make changes.

For SEO or technical teams, selecting Editor permissions is usually sufficient.

Step 6: Send the Invitation

  1. Ensure the Notify new users by email option is checked so they receive an invitation.
  2. Click Add to grant access.

The invited user will receive an email notification and can now access your Google Analytics account.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Can’t find Admin settings? Make sure you have sufficient permissions to manage users in your account.
  • Incorrect email? You can remove and re-add users from the same Account Access Management screen.

By following these simple steps, you can securely grant access to Google Analytics, enabling your team to analyze website performance and optimize your business strategy. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to contact us
