Adding an Admin to Your Google Analytics Properties

Granting administrative access to your Google Analytics account is essential when collaborating with team members or consultants. Admins have full control over the account, including the ability to manage users, edit settings, and view data.

Detailed Steps

1. Sign In to Google Analytics: Access your Google Analytics account using your credentials.

2. Navigate to Admin Settings:

   • Click on the 'Admin' gear icon located at the bottom left corner of your Google Analytics dashboard.

3. Select the Account or Property:

   • Choose the account or property where you want to add an admin.
   • Google Analytics is structured as Account > Property > View. Ensure you're in the correct level (Account or Property) to grant the desired access.

4. Access User Management:

   • In the 'Account' or 'Property' column (based on where you want to add the admin), click on 'User Management'.

5. Add New User:

   • Click on the plus icon (+), then select 'Add users'.
   • Enter the email address of the person you want to add as an admin. This email address must be associated with a Google account.

6. Assign Permissions:

   • Check the 'Edit', 'Collaborate', 'Read & Analyze', and 'Manage Users' boxes. 'Manage Users' is the permission that gives admin rights.
   • You can optionally add a description or note for the user.

7. Notify New User:

   • You can choose to send an email notification to the new user.

8. Complete the Addition:

   • Click ‘Add’ to finalize the process. The new user will now have admin access to the selected Google Analytics account or property.

Final Note

Be cautious when granting admin access, as admins have comprehensive control over your Google Analytics settings and data.
