Why add another user to Google Analytics

With Google Analytics, you can add users to your account and control their level of access by granting permissions to use certain features, such as whether a user has access to editing features or simply viewing privileges. You can add as many users to your Google Analytics account as you need and dictate the permissions of each user individually. If you no longer wish to grant certain users access to your account, you also can remove users.

1. Sign in to Google Analytics.
