Google Analytics is a powerful tool that provides insights into your website’s performance. Granting user access to your Google Analytics account allows team members or external partners to view and analyze your website data. This guide will walk you through the steps to grant user access in Google Analytics efficiently.
Start by logging into your Google Analytics account at Google Analytics. Use the credentials associated with the account that has administrative access to the Google Analytics property.
Once logged in, navigate to the account, property, and view you want to manage. You can do this by selecting the appropriate options from the account dropdown menus. Ensure you are in the correct view where you want to add the user.
In the bottom left corner of the Google Analytics interface, click on the "Admin" gear icon. This will take you to the Admin panel where you can manage account settings, properties, and views.
Depending on the level of access you want to grant, choose one of the following:
