Grow your business with the help of our team

Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. It is the most widely used web analytics service on the internet.

If you have a Google Analytics account, you can share access to your data with other people. To do this, you’ll need to add them as a user to your account.

When you add a user, you’ll need to specify what level of access they should have. There are three levels of access:

  • View: Users can view data in your account, but they can’t make any changes.
  • Edit: Users can view and edit data in your account.
  • Admin: Users can view, edit, and manage data in your account.

Once you’ve added a user, they’ll be able to sign in to Google Analytics and access your data.

  1. Log in to your Google Analytics account.
  2. Click on the Admin tab.
  3. Under the Property column, click on Access Management.
  4. Click on the + sign to add a user.
  5. Enter the email address of the person you want to give access to.
  6. To notify the user, select Notify new users by email.
  7. Select the level of access you want to give the user.
  8. Click Add.

If you need to edit a user in Google Analytics, you can go to the Admin page and select the User Management option. From there, you can select the user you want to edit and make changes to their settings.
