Title: Analytics Permissions Error Last modified: December 27, 2021 --- # Analytics Permissions Error * Resolved [coheedandclarke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coheedandclarke/) * (@coheedandclarke) * [4 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/analytics-permissions-error/) * Hi, * I am trying to connect my Google Analytics account to Site Kit but I am getting the following error: * “Error: Your Google account does not have sufficient permissions for this Analytics account, so you won’t be able to see stats from it on the Site Kit dashboard. This service was originally connected by an administrator — you can contact them for more information.” * I have recently purchased the site and had all administrative privileges transferred to the account I am trying to connect with. There are no other emails associated with the Google Analytics Account or Property other than mine. * I have successfully connected Google Search Console using the same account, but it doesn’t seem to want to recognise my administrator rights for Analytics. * Can you help?

As the notice mentions another administrator setup the Analytics module previously what you can do is disconnect the Analytics module, before then connecting once more _(Site Kit > Settings > Analytics > Edit > Disconnect Analytics from Site Kit)_. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.imgur.com/93TlQMc.png?ssl=1) * The above will ensure that you, as a site administrator can connect the module using any Analytics property, which you already have access to. Let me know how you get on with the above. * Thread Starter [coheedandclarke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coheedandclarke/) * (@coheedandclarke) * [4 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/analytics-permissions-error/#post-15199533) * Thanks James, * I followed your directions and disconnected Analytics. * On the Site Kit dashboard there is now a large blue box which says “Learn more about what visitors do on your site” and has a link to “SET UP ANALYTICS ->”. * I click that link and the Google Analytics logo appears in a “CONNECT SERVICE” box with a blue loading bar. This tries to load for about 15 seconds before I am again given the exact same error I mentioned before: * “Error: Your Google account does not have sufficient permissions for this Analytics account, so you won’t be able to see stats from it on the Site Kit dashboard. This service was originally connected by an administrator — you can contact them for more information.” * The additional text states: * “An existing Universal Analytics tag was found on your site with the ID UA-xxxxxx56- 1. Since this tag refers to the same property selected here, Site Kit will not place its own tag and rely on the existing one. If later on you decide to remove this tag, Site Kit can place a new tag for you.” * The “Account” and “Property” boxes underneath are greyed out as I have no other properties or accounts associated with this email address. * It also says “A Google Analytics 4 property will also be created. LEARN MORE” but the “CONFIGURE ANALYTICS” button is greyed out as I can’t select an account/ property to configure. * Please let me know what to do next. * Cheers * Plugin Support [James Osborne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesosborne/) * (@jamesosborne) * [4 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/analytics-permissions-error/#post-15200569) * Many thanks for the update. The latest notice you’re encountering is slightly different to the previous notice, where there was a mention of another administrator having connected the Analytics module. * As there seems to be an existing Analytics snippet placed on your site independent of Site Kit we’ll need to determine the source of this non Site Kit placed snippet, before removing it so you can connect with your preferred property. * The snippet may have been placed via theme configuration, theme insertion (header. php or footer.php) or a third party plugin.

If you have any further queries going forward be sure to reach out! Best of luck with your site and happy new year.
