First of all go to your analytics home and then choose the right properties, then on the bottom there are admin settings on click which opens new tab with admin tools, then in three columns you will see each have their user management in place.

Users Permissions in Google Analytics

Google Analytics data can be showed to multiple people with same views so they can discuss the current scenario of the website traffic respectively. There are four permissions with each have their superiority over the others.

• Manage Users : For managing multiple users i.e. add or delete users and assigning role to them. This permissions does not include edit or collaborate
• Edit : With edit one can check all reporting activities, create filters and see analytics data but can’t manage users. If you tick edit column than Collaborate & Read Analyze are included as default too.
• Collaborate : Using Personal Assets, creating and sharing them. Also collaborate on assets which are shared. If you select Collaborate than Read & Analyze comes this with permissions
• Read & Analyze : Creating and sharing personal assets, check reports and configure data. Shared assets can be viewed but cannot be collaborated. They are default selected if you to choose for adding new user to your Google Analytics.

Manage users permission can be given separately while edit, collaborate, Read & Analyze are given collectively. Admin can also given collaborate with read & Analyze access to its other users effectively while Read & Analyze permission can also be provided to single specific users individually.

You can provide and give permissions to many people at once with separate permissions to maintain flow of work respectively. In the next post we will share inputs on how to add more users for your Google Analytics.
