How to change owner of site on Google Analyics?
My site was maintained before by some company (Company A) that created site, targets in Google Analytics. But now my site maintain another company (Company B) that havent access to Google Analytics.
Can I transfer site, data, targets from old account GA to new account (Company B)? I havent access to old account (bcs owner is another company (Company A), I dont collaborate with them).
You will need to gain access to the old account and follow the account transfer process: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/44500?hl=en
If you don't have access or can't gain access, the best you can do is create a new account with this property and add the new code to your website, thus losing your past data.
The process to move a Google Analytics property is a bit clunky, but pretty slick once you've had to do it a few times.
A user will need Admin access to the Google Analytics ACCOUNT where the Property is currently, AND Admin access to another Google Analytics Account (create a new one if you need to) where you want to move the Analytics Property to.
Once you have Admin access to both, head in to the Property Settings and click, "move account".
On completion, you can update the access rights to your Google Account, removing access as necessary.
Your Analytics Property will be complete with all of the historic data, configuration and user access rights.
There's a video showing the process here too: https://youtu.be/m_F3qmSTIl0

I have account that has 100 accounts, I've added a Google Service account (I can't use anything else because of 3rd party app limitation) and now I need to allow it to access all of these accounts. Seems there's no way at Google Analytics UI to do that and I will have to manually edit 100 accounts.
Is there any better way to do it? Maybe something like AdWords Editor just for Analytics?
If you have a Google User Account that has access to all the Google Analytics Accounts (which is how I interpret your first sentence) you can bulk edit them via the Google Analytics Management API, and that includes adding users that might or might not be service accounts. A reasonable easy way would be to use a Google Spreadsheet and some Google Apps Script. The script will run as the user that is currently logged in to Google and will be able to access all Analytics account that user has access to.
However you need to have necessary permissions to edit the GA accounts, so if you do not already have an authorized account you will (unsurprisingly) not be able to add one
My Google Analytics has an Account with multiple Properties (websites). Is it possible to switch a Property to another Account? So I can add users that don't have access to the other Properties in the Account. See: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u1hekbfljpob687/Schermafdruk%202014-10-14%2009.48.56.png?dl=0
UPDATED ANSWER: Google enabled moving between accounts in September 2016, (tip by smocking):
Ownership Transfers
Many customers may have had a third party (eg. an
agency) create a property for their website inside the third party’s
Analytics account. This effectively housed the property into an
account that someone else owns & controls. With property moving, it’s
now possible to move such a property outside of its original account
and into a new one so that the property owner can have full control of
their property.
OLD ANSWER
In the Google Analytics>Accounts and Views (Profiles) help
section, you will find:
You cannot migrate historical data from one account to another. Thus, if you set up an account for a web property and then later want to move tracking to a separate account, you cannot currently migrate the data from the old account to the new account.
In other words, no, you cannot move a property from one account to
another.
We just launched the ability to move properties between Analytics accounts today.
With Google Analytics you can assign specific roles to different users to access specific accounts, properties and views, and also you can assign them a view/analyse permission only or an edit permission also.
Every account, property and view has a user management at the admin section, IMAGE
Suppose that a user has a Google account (say a Gmail account), but he does Not have a Google Analytics account.
Can we have a 3rd party application use the Management API (when the user is willing to authenticate it via OAuth2 using his Google account) to reach the stage of creating Tracking Code ?
I am asking this because, in https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/config/mgmt/v3/mgmtReference/ , only 'list' is the method that is available for Accounts.
It doesn't appear that you can create a fresh GA account from the Management API. You can, however, list, create, edit, and delete users from an existing GA account:
User Permissions in the Management API allows you to list, create, edit, and delete users from your Google Analytics account. This is useful if you want to automate adding new users to Google Analytics, or removing a set of users.

I am a Google Analytics consultant and have around 30 properties I have access to on my Google Analytics. Each of the properties owners gave me Read & Analyze rights.
Now I'd like my coworker to view these properties and don't want to give him my email and password (obviously). How can I give him access with his own email?
I would also like him to be able to access the properties through the Google Analytics Query explorer. Maybe there is a way I can add him to the Cloud Console?
You can't give someone else access to a Google Analytics account for which you only have Read and Analyze rights:
Manage Users: Can manage account users (add/delete users, assign permissions). Does not include Edit or Collaborate.
Edit: Can perform administrative and report-related functions (e.g., add/edit/delete accounts, properties, views, filters, goals, etc., but not manage users), and see report data. Includes Collaborate.
Collaborate: Can create personal assets, and share them. Can collaborate on shared assets, for example, edit a dashboard or annotation. Includes Read & Analyze.
Read & Analyze: Can see report and configuration data; can manipulate data within reports (e.g., filter a table, add a secondary dimension, create a segment); can create personal assets, and share them, and see shared assets. Cannot collaborate on shared assets.
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2884495?hl=en&ref_topic=1009690
Only Manager Users access can do that.
You can share assets with other who have been granted access to the analytics account but not with someone who has not been granted any access.
You can't grant a co-worker access to the Query Explorer to an account that they don't have access to and you can't grant access through the Cloud Console either. You couldn't do that even with the highest level.
Access can only be granted from within Google Analytics by someone with Manage User rights.
I have access to a website's analytics from a former employer. The website is an internal tool that is not available in a public kinda way. I would like to delete this website/profile from my analytics account. I've searched through the documentation for analytics but it seems like it's a little out of date. Does anyone have the low-down on how to do this?
Thanks Everyone
If you want to "delete" the profile only for your account, ask to the profile's Administrator to delete you from the users list.
Google now has a method for removing an account (web site) from your administration list WITHOUT deleting the GA account that other users may be relying on.
From the GA Admin screen, select the account you wish to remove. In the first column (Account) select USER MANAGEMENT -> Remove myself from this account.
