If you manage multiple websites in Search Console, then make sure the correct one is selected in the top-left corner dropdown menu. Then select the property name.
Step 3: Open the Settings Menu
Click on the “Settings” link at the bottom of the left menu.
Step 4: Open Users and Permissions
Inside the Settings menu screen, click the “Users and Permissions” section.

Add a User to Google Analytics
Watch the video below to get started! Grant access to your Google Analytics account.
Now that you’ve seen the video tutorial on adding users to Google Analytics, let’s break it down step by step for those who prefer a written guide.
Step 1: Sign in to Google Analytics
Sign in to Google Analytics. Open this URL – analytics.google.com
Step 2: Open the Admin Panel
In Google Analytics, find the “Admin” menu at the bottom left.
Step 3: Choose the Right Level:
Navigate to the account, property, or view where you want to grant access. You can manage access at different levels within your Analytics setup.
Each one has an “Access Management” choice. Select whichever one makes sense for this particular user.
Step 4: Add emails for the new user(s)
You’ll see a list of all current users in the Access Management module. Click the blue “+” button in the upper-right corner.
This displays a menu with two options:
- Add Users
- Add User Groups
Click “Add Users“.
Enter the email address of the user’s Google Account.
Mark the box below to “Notify New Users By Email.”
Step 5: Set direct roles and data restrictions
Scroll down in the same module to find a section called “Direct Roles and Data Restrictions.”
Google Analytics offers three main permission levels:
- Viewer: Can view reports and data but cannot make changes.
- Editor: Can view and edit reports and data. ( Recommended )
- Administrator: Full control, including adding/removing users and managing permissions.
Choose the appropriate permissions level (Viewer, Editor, or Administrator). We recommended giving the Editor role permission to us.
Step 6: Add data restrictions
Down a little further, there’s a section for Data Restrictions. These allow you to hide more sensitive data from some users, like:
- Cost Metrics
- Revenue Metrics
Step 7: Add data restrictions
Once you’re done with the roles and restrictions, click the “Add” button.
You are done! If you had the “Notify New Users By Email” box checked, each new user receives an email and access the dashboard.
