Google Analytics users must have a Google Account. If the person you add already uses a Google product, such as Gmail they already have a Google Account.Â
Permissions required
You will need to be either an Admin, Editor, or Analyst to share the data with your Madgicx account.Â
If you donât have one of these permissions then you need to ask the relevant admin on your team.
How admins add new users
For an admin to grant you access to a Google Analytics asset they need to:
- Head to Google Analytics
- Click Admin in the bottom-left corner (âď¸), and navigate to the âAccountâ column that appears
- Click âAccount Access Managementâ
- In the âAccount permissionsâ list that appears, click â+â in the top right, then click âAdd usersâ
- Enter the email address for the user's Google Account
- Select Admin, Editor, or Analyst permissionsÂ
- Click âAddâ
Hereâs a handy message you can send to the account admin:
Hey, I need permissions to manage our Google Analytics asset. Could you spare a few minutes to help me out? (itâs quick and painless, promise đ)
- Go to Google Analytics (you may need to re-enter your password)
- Head to âAdminâ (âď¸) in the left-hand sidebar at the bottom
- Click on âAccount Access Managementâ that appears in the âAccountâ column that appears
- Click on the â+â in the top right, then click âAdd usersâ
- Enter in my email address
- Select my role as âAnalystâ or above
- Click âAddâ
Thatâs it! Appreciate if you could get this done ASAP đ so I can start optimizing and maximizing our potential through Google ads đŞ
When you have the permissions, head to Madgicxâs Settings and scroll down to the âGoogle Ad Accountsâ section at the bottom of the page.
Note: you need to connect a Google Ads account to Madgicx before being able to connect a Google Analytics account.
Click on the âAdd Google Accountâ button in the bottom right-hand corner of the page.
To connect your account, find it in the dropdown list and then click Save.
