How to edit and add Users to Google Analitycs?

Add users to Analytics

You can add as many users as you need. To add a new user to an account or property:

1. In Admin, under Account or Property (depending on where you want to add users), click Access Management.
2. In the Account/Properties permissions list, click +, then click Add users.
3. Enter the email address for the user’s Google Account or Google Workspace Account.
4. Select Notify new users by email to send a message to the user.
5. Select the permissions you want. Learn more about permissions.
6. Click Add.

The Google email address you use to add a user and the password associated with that address become the Analytics login credentials for that user.

Edit users

You can edit the permissions for any user at any level in an Analytics account. For example, if you have given a user the Viewer role for only a single property, you can subsequently also give the user the Editor role for only that property. Or you can give that user the Editor role at the account level, and thereby also give them the Editor role for every property in that account.

You can give a user more permissions as you move down the account hierarchy, but you cannot give a user fewer permissions than you assigned at higher levels. For example, if you assign a user the Editor role at the account level, then that user also has the Editor role at the property level (and you cannot revoke those permissions at the property level). Conversely, you can assign a user the Editor role at the property level, but assign no permissions the account level. Learn more about permissions.

To modify permissions for an existing user:

1. In Admin, under Account or Property (depending on where you want to modify permissions), click Access Management.
2. Use the search box at the top of the list to find the user you want. Enter a full or partial address( e.g., janedoe@gmail.com or janedoe).
3. Click the user name, then add or remove permissions.
4. Click Save.

Delete users

To delete a user:

1. In Admin, under Account or Property (depending on where you want to delete users), click Access Management.
2. Use the search box at the top of the list to find the user you want. Enter a full or partial address( e.g., janedoe@gmail.com or janedoe).
3. Select the check box for each user you want to delete, then click REMOVE.

Create user groups

You can create user groups with permissions for your Analytics account.

To create a user group, your Analytics account has to belong to an organization. If your account doesn’t belong to an organization, Analytics walks you through that process of creating and linking to an organization when you create your first user group.

To create a user group:

5. Select the permissions you want, then click ADD. (Learn more about permissions.)

After you create a group, it appears in the users lists for your Analytics account and for your organization.

The group has permissions for the level in the Analytics hierarchy where you create the group. For example, if you create the group at the property level, then it has permissions only for that property. If you create it at the account level, then it has permissions for all properties. See Edit user groups below for information about adding permissions to other levels of the Analytics hierarchy.

3. In the row for that group, click , then click View group’s organization details.
4. Click Members, then click +.
5. Enter the email addresses of the users you want to add.
6. If you want to add other groups to this group, click ADD GROUP.
7. After you have added the users and groups you want, click ADD.
8. Close the Members panel, and close the panel for the group.
9. Click Save.

Add a user group to a level of your Analytics hierarchy

After you create a group, you can add it to any level of your Analytics hierarchy in order to give all users in the group permissions for that level.

2. In the users list, click +, then click Add user groups.

Edit user groups

After you create a user group, you can add and remove users, groups, and permissions; and you can add the group to other groups.
