# How to add edit permissions for Google Analytics and GTM

\*\*Being able to edit the Google Analytics account is the 2nd highest permission level. You need this if you want to create a new Property in Google Analytics.\*\*

For audit purposes, only **Viewer** access is required. :::

To grant permissions to another user you will need the highest permission level yourself: being able to manage users on the account (**Administrator**).

1. In the **Google Analytics** account that you want to change, select the **Admin** cog on the bottom left-hand side.
2. Select **Account Access Management** from the **Account Settings** section in the left-hand column.
