Find the Connected Google Cloud Project

Here is how to locate the Google Cloud Project that is connected to Google Analytics

‍

‍

Then go to Google Cloud Console and navigate to that project.

‍

If you don't see the project you don't have access. Google Analytics will tell you who created the link as a good starting point to find who might have access.

‍

Enable Service APIs

Please enable the following APIs. If any of the options are not available you will need to request additional permissions from on the project from your IT team.

‍

• BigQuery API (bigquery.googleapis.com)
• BigQuery Data Transfer API (bigquerydatatransfer.googleapis.com)
• Service Usage API (serviceusage.googleapis.com)
• Cloud Resource Manager API (cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com)

‍

‍

Create Service Account

Create a Service Account Named "GA4addON Product"

A service account is like a user account, but typically used to grant access to an application, in this case GA4addON.

‍

• IAM > Service Accounts
• Click Create Service Account
• Name: GA4addON Product
• There is no need to adjust the Service Account ID
• Add a description: Service account to run the GA4addON Product.
• Click Create and Continue
• Add the BigQuery User role
• Add the BigQuery Data Editor role

‍

‍

Create a Service Account Key

‍

• Select the new service account
• Click Actions > Manage Keys
• Click Add Key > Create New Key
• Select Key type: JSON and click Create
• Do not send this via email or anything that saves conversation history. If you need to share with someone, use something like pwpush.com

‍

‍

Upload to GA4addON

• Navigate to Project Details from the profile icon at top right
• Upload the previously downloaded JSON key file
• Save
• RECOMMENDED: Delete the JSON key file from your computer
• RECOMMENDED: If you need to share, DO NOT EMAIL. Use pwpush.com (or similar).
