How to Share Access to Google Analytics?

Objective

In this tutorial, we're going to show you how to manage the users of a Google Analytics account very simply! This way, you can share access to Google Analytics very easily.

Google Analytics Access Levels

First of all, it's important to understand that there are 3 levels of permission in GA (Google Analytics):

Account
Property
Property View

You can give access at any of the above levels. Why do they exist? Quite simply!

Imagine that you own a pharmaceutical company called Pareto Farm. In this company, you have 3 different drugs: farm A, farm B, farm C.

The "farm C" remedy is for the care of a pregnant woman. That's why, in addition to the sales site, you also create a blog, under the sub-domain blog.farmc.com.br.

What would Pareto Farm's Google Analytics settings look like?

Account: Pareto Farm
Properties: There would be 3 properties:

Farm A property
Farm B property
Farm C property

Property Views: There would be 4 views of the property.

In the Farm A property, we would have the view of the property, i.e. the data relating to its main website, farmA.com.br.

In the Farm B property, we would have the view of the property, i.e. the data relating to its main website, farmB.com.br.

On the Farm C property, we would have TWO property views. One for the main site: farmC.com.br. And another for the blog, since it is in the blog.farmC.com.br subdomain.

Done! Now all you have to do is decide whether you want to give access to the whole account or just one property! Simple, isn't it? Let's take a look at how to share access to your Google Analytics account with Pareto Group in 5 simple steps.
