Team roles
You can invite users to your Simple Analytics team. Every user has their own role. You can give those users access to all your websites (and custom views), or a selection of them. See add team members for how inviting works.
Owner
An owner is the first admin of a team, and every team has one owner. The owner has full control over all settings, users, and data. They have the same permissions as an admin.
When an owner deletes their account but keeps the team, ownership moves to another active member, preferably an owner or admin. If no other active member remains, the team is deleted together with its websites and analytics data. See how account deletion affects teams.
Admin
Admins can manage team members, adjust settings, and oversee daily operations. They have comprehensive access to all features and functionalities, ensuring smooth management of the team’s activities and resources.
Analyst
Analysts play a crucial role in working with the dashboards, goals, and events. They can add, change, and remove goals, create, update, and delete custom views, and modify some website settings related to dashboard viewing. They can add email reports (and only remove the ones they added). Analysts have the capability to import Google Analytics data, or export raw data if it is included in the plan, allowing for detailed analysis and reporting. However, they do not have permission to reset website data, ensuring data integrity.
Developer
Developers focus on the technical aspects of the analytics dashboard. They can do everything that an analyst can and more. They can add websites to the team, and modify website settings such as visibility (public/private), custom domain, and alerts for no traffic. Additionally, developers have the authority to reset website data, which can be useful during significant updates or troubleshooting.
Finance Manager
Finance Managers handle all financial aspects of the team. They can update billing information, manage subscriptions, and cancel them if necessary. This role is essential for maintaining the financial health of the team, ensuring that all financial transactions and subscriptions are up-to-date and properly managed. Everyone you invite gets access to all your websites at first. If you don’t want the finance manager to see the analytics data, edit them after sending the invite: choose “Selected websites” without checking any website, and uncheck “Including new websites”.
Viewer
Viewers have restricted access with read-only permissions. They can view dashboards, goals, and events, but cannot edit anything. Viewers can only change their own account settings, allowing them to customize their user experience to some extent without affecting team data or configurations.
General permissions
All accounts have the ability to delete their own account, giving users control over their participation in the team. Depending on their role and the other active members, deleting an account can transfer team ownership or delete the team. See how to delete your account for details.
Members of more than one team can leave a team in their account settings. An owner needs to make another member the owner first. You also can’t leave a team when no other owner or admin would remain.
Add team members
Owners and admins can add team members on the team page. Click “Add a team member”, fill in the email address and role of each person, and send the invites. Each person gets an email and joins the team after accepting the invite.
Everyone you invite gets access to all current and future websites. To limit this, edit the member after sending the invite and choose “Selected websites”.
Your plan includes a number of users. Extra users are billed per user. See our pricing page for the included users and the price per extra user. Before you send the invites, you see what the extra users cost:
- If you pay by card, we charge the prorated amount for the rest of the current billing period right away. If your card subscription is still in its trial, nothing is charged until the trial ends.
- If you pay by invoice, you confirm the increase and we add the extra users to your invoice from the next billing period.
On the Free plan, you need to upgrade your plan before you can add team members. Some older plans can’t add users beyond the users they include. In that case, contact us.
When you remove a member who isn’t part of any other team, their Simple Analytics account is deleted as well.
