# How to Give Someone Access to Your Google Analytics

How to give someone access to your Google Analytics, which role to choose, and what to do if you can't add users.

You can let a teammate, a marketing company or our team see your website's Google Analytics. To add people, you need the **Administrator** role in Google Analytics.

## Add someone

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Access Management

Go to [Google Analytics](https://analytics.google.com) and click **Admin** (the gear) at the bottom left. Check your website's property is selected at the top. Under **Property**, click **Access Management**.

Use **Property**, not **Account**. Account access gives them every property in your account.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add them

Click **+**, then **Add users**. Enter the email of their Google account. To send them an email about it, tick **Notify new users by email**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose their role and save

Choose a role and click **Add**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Which role to choose

| Role              | What they can do                                                               |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Viewer**        | See your reports. Enough for most people who only need to look.                |
| **Analyst**       | See your reports, and make and share explorations with others who have access. |
| **Editor**        | Change your Analytics settings, but not add people.                            |
| **Administrator** | Everything, including adding and removing people.                              |

## Common Questions

<details>

<summary>I can't add users.</summary>

You need the Administrator role. Ask whoever set up your Analytics to give it to you. If we set it up, for example with Local SEO Setup, email <support@agentfire.com> with your Google account email If we still have access, we'll add you.

<summary>I don't know who owns my Analytics.</summary>

If Google offers to send an access request, send it. It goes to the property's administrators. If nobody answers, ask a past web company or teammate who might have set it up. We can't add you to an Analytics account we don't manage.

</details>

<details>

<summary>I gave someone the wrong role.</summary>

In **Access Management**, click their name, change the role and click **Save**. You don't need to add them again. If they got their role for the whole account, change it in **Admin > Account > Account access management** instead, since a property can't give them less than the account does.

<summary>I added someone to Search Console. Why can't they see Analytics?</summary>

Search Console and Analytics are separate. Add them to each one. For Search Console, see [How to Give Someone Access to Your Google Search Console](/faqs-and-general/google-analytics/articles-2305698-google-webmaster-tools-managing-users-owners-and-permissions.md).
