Google Analytics: How to Add a New User to a Google Analytics Account
Jun 30, 2011
Here’s how to add a new user to your Google Analytics account. You can give anyone access as long as they have a Google account. You can give them “View reports only” access or you can give them “Account Administrator” access. The latter allows the user to add and delete other account users, create filters and change other settings on the account.

Click on the +New User button.
Insert an email address for the new user. The address must be associated with a Google account. Select User or Administrator. Administrators have full access to the account, including the ability to add and delete users.
