If you outsource your website analytics or you want someone on your team to be able to access your Google Analytics, here are the steps you need to take:

Step 1                                                                   

Sign in to your Google Analytics account at google.com/analytics.

Step 2

Click on the website Analytics profile you'd like to invite a new user to under the "Account Home" section.

Step 3

Click the "Admin" button.

Step 4

Click the "Users" tab under the "Profiles" section, and then click the "+ New User" button.

Step 5

Enter the email address of the user you'd like to invite, and click the radio button next to either User or Administrator. A user can view analytics data, while an administrator can make edits to the account.

Step 6

Click the Create User button to complete the process. The user you invited will be sent an email invitation with a link. New users just click the provided link and sign in to Google using an existing Google account.  There is no need to create a new account to view your Analytics data.
