What to ask for
- Ask for
- Viewer User access
- Minimum safe access
- Viewer on the one property (not the account), optionally with No Cost Metrics / No Revenue Metrics restrictions.
- Client needs
- Administrator on the GA4 account or property.
Ask for Viewer 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 account or property. Tick them off as you go.
What breaks if the role is wrong
- Too highAccount-level access is inherited by every property in the account.
- Too highEditor or Administrator can change settings or manage users.
