Give me access to your Google Analytics

Updated October 18, 20263 minute read

This page shows how to give me access to your Google Analytics. You invite my Google account from inside your own account. You never send me a password, your business stays the owner, and you can remove me at any time.

What to enter

My email

tuckershively@gmail.com

Role

Administrator

Where

The account, so I can see every property in it.

Before you begin

Sign in with the Google account that manages your business's analytics.
You need the Administrator role on the account yourself, because only an Administrator can add people. If you cannot find the steps below, someone else holds that role (often whoever built your last website). Forward them this page.

Add me as an Administrator

Open Google Analytics
Go to analytics.google.com and sign in. If you see more than one account, use the picker at the top left to choose your business's account.
Open Admin
Click Admin, the gear icon at the bottom left of the screen.
Open account access management
In the Account settings, click Account access management.
Start a new user
Click the blue + button at the top right, then click Add users.
Enter my email
Type tuckershively@gmail.com. Leave Notify new users by email checked, so I get an email the moment it is done.
Choose Administrator
Under the roles, select Administrator. Leave the data restriction boxes (cost metrics and revenue metrics) unchecked so I can see what your ads cost and what they bring in.
Click Add
That is all. My email now shows in the list with the Administrator role.

Why Administrator

Google describes Administrator as full control of Analytics. It includes everything the Editor role can do with your settings, plus managing users. I ask for it so I can do the whole job without coming back to you for each piece: counting calls and form leads as key events, connecting Search Console and Google Ads, setting how long data is kept, filtering out your own visits, and cleaning up old logins, such as a former web designer who still has access.

Who	Role	What it means
You	Administrator	You own the account, see everyone who has access, and can remove anyone, including me.
Me	Administrator	I can set up and change everything in the account and read every report, so nothing waits on a second invite.

Adding me does not change who owns the account. It stays in your Google account, and the data stays with your business if you ever stop working with me.

Verify it works

Back in Account access management, tuckershively@gmail.com appears in the list with the Administrator role.
I reply to confirm I can open your properties and see your data.

Troubleshooting

I do not see the + button or access management

Your login is not an Administrator on the account. Ask whoever set up your analytics to make you an Administrator first, or to add me directly using this page. If nobody knows who set it up, text me and I will help you find out.

I can only open the property, not the account settings

Someone gave you access to the property only. Add me the same way under Property access management with the Administrator role, then text me. I will help you get account-level access from whoever owns it.

I am not sure I have Google Analytics at all

Tell me. If your site has no Google Analytics 4 property, I set one up inside a Google account your business owns, so the data is yours from the first day. The older version, Universal Analytics, stopped collecting data in 2023, so an account that only has that needs a new property.

Remove my access later

Go back to Account access management, find tuckershively@gmail.com in the list, open the menu at the end of its row, and choose Remove access. Nothing else in the account changes, and your data stays where it is.
