Adding a Google Analytics User

• Navigate to https://analytics.google.com/ to load Google Analytics.
• Log in with your Google account. This is any account that is hosted on Googles mail server (e.g., @Gmail.com, or your domain.com if you're using Google to host your email).
• On the left side, toward the bottom, click on Admin.
• In the Property section click on Property User Management. Here you will see all users that have access to view your "property" (e.g., website).
• Click on the + in the top right-hand corner to add a user.
• Note: This user must be a Google mail user. This can be either an @Gmail.com address or your domain.com email address if it is hosted on Google's mail servers.
• Enter the users email address.
  • Note: You will not need the password for the user being added.
• Leave the box checked Notify new users by email so that they know they now have access along with access instructions.
• Select the appropriate Permissions that you want the user to have.
  • Note: We recommend keeping the Manage Users to the owner of the domain and the person managing the account for the domain owner to best protect the account.

Google Analytics v4 Information

With the update of Google Analytics to version 4 when you upgrade your account you will often notice two sets of domains for your website. This is normal and not a problem with Google Analytics. One of the accounts is the older version 3 and the other is the newer version 4.

When you migrate to the new version 4 of Google Analytics there is a good chance you will need to update the Google Analytics code.
