How to Add or Edit Users in Google Analytics (GA4)
If you need to give someone access to your GA4 account — like a web designer, marketer, or internal team member — you’ll need to assign them the right role from within the Google Analytics admin settings.
🔗 Official Google Guides (Start Here):
- Sign in to GA4 at https://analytics.google.com
- Choose the account and property where you want to add the user
- Click Admin (gear icon in the lower left corner)
- Under the Account or Property column (depending on what level of access they need), click Access Management
- Click the blue + in the top-right corner and select Add Users
- Enter the email address of the person
- Choose the appropriate permissions:
- Viewer – Read-only access
- Analyst – Can create reports
- Editor – Can make configuration changes (often used by web admins)
- Administrator – Full control, including adding/removing users
- Click Add
Tips:
- If unsure, give Editor access for someone managing setup or integrations
- Use Administrator only when you fully trust the user, as it gives them complete control
- You can remove or change access at any time using the same menu
