What GA4 access do I need to set up key events (conversions) for a client?

Last updated · roles checked against Google Analytics 4 help

The short answer

Ask for Marketer. Marketer can create, edit and delete audiences, events and key events, import key events into Google Ads and edit attribution settings, without full property control.

What to ask for

Ask for
Marketer User access
Minimum safe access
Marketer on the one property. Editor only if you'll change other property settings (data streams, retention, links).
Client needs
Administrator on the GA4 property.

Ask for Marketer and nothing broader. The smallest role that does the job is easier for the client to approve, easier to audit later, and simpler to remove when the work ends. If the scope of work grows, ask again for the larger role rather than requesting it up front.

What the client clicks

Send these steps to the person who holds administrator on the ga4 property. Tick them off as you go.
