- [Instructor] Getting data and insights in the hands
of the right people in your org is critical
and it may be as simple as giving those people
who need the information access to Google Analytics
so they can login and get the data they need on their own
and we can manage users from the aptly named
user management sections here within the admin section.
We can use these settings to grant access
but can also use it to restrict access
in the case that a certain view, property,
or even account should only be seen by certain users.
Maybe, for example, if you were including
financial information in one of your views
but not in another.
Now in the last video, we went over the
general interface of this admin page here.
I'm in my test account now, so I have full admin
section here and I can pretty much do anything I need to do.
If I were in the Google one, for example,
I would see less permissions here
because I'm not an admin on that account.
So, let's go here and look at the permissions allowed
at the view level by clicking on
user management here in the view.
Here I can see that we have all the users
that have access view.
Right now only my account has permissions
because I just created this one.
As an admin, I have the ability to add a new user,
a new group by clicking on this blue plus sign here.
So let's go ahead and add a new user.
The first thing we're going to ask for is the email address.
We simply put that in here.
Let's go ahead and add my co-worker, Dave Booth.
We can notify folks by email.
I will fill up his inbox here.
As you can see, it automatically goes
and goes back to Google.
Verifies that this is a real account.
It even grabs a photo of folks
that have their profile filled out there.
If I were to put in fake user, bunch of stuff here
then it's gonna tell me right away
this doesn't match a Google account.
So, remember this can be your work account,
as long as there's an actual Google account
associated with that.

Okay, then we come down here.
We can give permissions.
So, first one we can give here allows folks
to create accounts, properties, filters, goals, et cetera
that the only thing they really can't do is manage users.
The next one down is to collaborate.
So, you can create shared assets, dashboards, annotations.
Things we've seen there that we would use
to create if we were doing analysis,
and then the last one is pretty much a read only one.
You can only view the report configuration data.
You can't actually change anything,
and then the ability to manage users down here.
Be careful with this one.
Add user, delete users, change permissions.
This one is kind of admin one
and we wanna give that only to a handful of folks.
So, let's go ahead and give Dave collaborate
and add him here, and then as we back out here,
what we'll see if I go into user management
on the properties side here is that Dave is here
but has no permissions at the property level
cause we gave that at the view, the lowest possible level.
It says here that the user has permissions
at the lower level, and if we click in
we can see exactly what Dave has permissions wise there
but if we go back here.
Okay, and let's do the same on myself here.
I am the admin, you can see that all these things
are inherited because I got them at the account level.
I'm the admin at the account level
so I inherit those all the way down to all the views
and the properties underneath that.
Same thing here, if we go back
to user management at the account level.
Again, Dave has no permissions at the account level.
He's only got those at the view level
so we see none here for that.
No inherited and no direct as opposed to myself.
I have direct access to everything here at the account level
because I am the admin of the account
as the creator of the account.
So, that's about it for user access.
I think you should give some thought
to who needs what kind of access
and where you should apply it here.
The user management settings here
have a lot more granular control
for user management than they used to.
You can give folks different permissions
and those at the view property
and account level so make sure you give some thought
to that prior but otherwise,
let's give folks access to the information they need.
