I have hundreds of individual analytics accounts right now which I would like to have API access to. Normally, you can just go to the admin page of an account and give access to the service account by entering the service account email. The problem I am having is that I have hundreds of accounts. I'd really not like to add my service email to each account manually. Is there a way I can have access to each analytics account through API without manually entering my email under each account?
This probably isn't helpful...but if you have someone that can work with python/selenium or Winautomation, this would be a straightforward task.
The only way is through a google account that already has access to all the analytics accounts that interest you.

When trying to pull GA4 data from the api, it says the user doesn't have permission. I'm having no issues with the UA accounts.
However, my GA4 accounts are both:
tied to the same account as my Universal accounts
the api service email account is also attached to those account.
I'm wondering if perhaps the property id isn't what i use for ga4, as I did for the Univsal code.
Has anyone had this issue?
I have tried using both the property ID, the Stream ID and the Measurement ID with no luck.
user doesn't have permission
means exactly that the user you are authenticating with does not have permission to access the google analytics account you are trying to access.
You need to go into the GA4 account via the admin section on the website and grant it access
Its under property and access management, add the service account in there.
I am using Google Analytics 4. I have created the json file for the service account, and got the email address. This email was added to my users as Admin in the Account Access Management, yet I am still getting the error that I do not have sufficient permissions for this profile.
Any idea what am I doing wrong please?
I am trying to create a simple node app and I using service account to automate the OAuth Flow. While am able to successfully do this, am not able to retrieve the report from Google Analytics using this service account. I get the following error message,
{
"error": {
"code": 403,
"message": "User does not have any Google Analytics account.",
"status": "PERMISSION_DENIED"
}
}
I can't add this service account to the Analytics account as my owner account (under which I created this service account) has only read-only access. So how do I proceed? How can I grant this service account the same read-only access as my owner account? When I login into Google Analytics using my owner account, I am not able to perform any User Management as it has limited access.
Please help me on how to proceed here.
Thanks
If using a service account, there is no way to proceed other than finding someone with user management permissions and have him add the account.
It is hard to see why you would expect it to be otherwise; the purpose of the permission system is to prevent unauthorized access, and it would do a pretty poor job if it suddenly allowed you to exceed your privileges by adding a user.
As per the answer from Eike, you cannot add a Service Account if you lack the permissions to do so.
There is an alternative approach which allows you to use your own account, i.e. no service accounts anywhere. This basically involves you obtaining a Refresh Token, and using that to authenticate your access. You can follow the steps at How do I authorise an app (web or installed) without user intervention? (canonical ?) to do this.
I want to be able to access other users Google Calendars through a service account so I am not prompted for authorization. I am doing this in a simple .net c# console app. When I attempt to create my credentials in the Google API Manager, it gives me the following alert when I specify I am using a non UI app and I want to access User Data. Isn't the purpose of using the service account to access other users data without a UI?
"User data cannot be accessed from a platform without a UI because it requires user interaction for sign-in."
You may have misunderstood the meaning of using a service account to impersonate a user. To help you with Authentication, you might want to check this tutorial : Google Calendar API Authentication with C# by Daimto.
Things to take note of :
To be able to access other calendars by service account, users who own the calendar should share it to the service account.
To impersonate a user, you must know the email address.
From the tutorial:
If you are only accessing data that you own there is no reason to ask a user for permission to access it. You can use a Service account. (Privacy)
If you want to be able to access data owned by someone else you will need to be authenticated.
Hope this helps!
There are many people who own multiple facebook or twitter accounts. And maybe they would like to merge their accounts in another service
Such as, I have 2 facebook accounts and want to access a game from both account. So if one account got deleted, I can login another to got access to the same
Is it possible in firebase? And how could I do?
Yes, Firebase Auth supports that via the Account Linking API.
User login into Firebase with the first Facebook account.
getCurrentUser() gives you the Firebase user.
Prompt the user to login with second Facebook account.
Link the second Facebook token:
getCurrentUser().linkWithCredential(facebookTokenCredential)
For the moment that is not possible. Firebase set an uuid for each facebook account when login for first time.
