HOW TO ADD SOMEONE AS ADMIN ON GOOGLE ANALYTICS

You are a website owner but for some “strange” reason your web developer did not add you as a Google Analytics admin.

Please pass the following steps and instructions to your web developer to be granted “admin” access to a Google Analytics account.

1. Log in to the Google Analytics account
2. Select your account by clicking on the ‘Account button” with an arrow located top right corner of Google Analytics – right next to the Google Analytics logo.
3. Click on “Properties and Apps” and select your property
4. Click on “Views” and select your views
5. The web developer should by now be on your GA property
6. Click on the “Admin” tab located in the bottom left corner
7. Click on “User management” under the middle column called “Property”
8. Type the email address of the person that needs to be an admin
9. Click on the arrow next to “Read and Analyse”
10. Web developer to tick the “Manage users” option.
11. Web developer to click on “Add”
12. Viola! Your web developer has now granted you “Admin” status

If – for some reason – the above instructions do not work out, it is likely that your web developer has not followed best practices about creating new separate accounts for clients.

The solution

Create a new Google Analytics account and then pass the Google Analytics tracking code to your web developer so he can paste it on the header tag of your website. This way you truly own and manage your own Google Analytics account and do not have anyone (not even your developer) having access to it.

Expert tip

If you are aiming to run a re-marketing campaign using acquisition channels such as Facebook ads, Twitter ads, Adroll advertising, and many others  I suggest you should implement a Google Tag Manager Account from the very beginning and have your Google Analytics code within Google Tag Manager. This is a bit more advanced, still not complex and worth it.
