To grant access to your Google Analytics property (website) to a new user (employee, contractor, agency)
Ideal outcome
Your employee, contractor, or agency will have access and be able to collaborate on your Google Analytics account
Why it matters
Google Analytics allows you to grant access to other users so you can share your data with them, or give them access to create reports for your company. Granting access is the most secure way to share your site’s data without having to share your login details
Before you start
You will need admin access to a Google Analytics Account. If you have not created a Google Analytics account, you can refer to SOP 009 (web version) to add Google Analytics to a site
