# Authorisation drops out

 * The plugin has been working without issues until yesterday when the authorisation
   is removed? error log: 2017-03-13 22:35:18: (403) Error calling GET [https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga%……&#8230](https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga%……&#8230);..&
   start-date=14daysAgo&end-date=yesterday&metrics=ga%3Asessions&dimensions=ga%3Adate%
   2Cga%3AdayOfWeekName&quotaUser=u5s1p91225952&samplingLevel=HIGHER_PRECISION: (
   403) User does not have sufficient permissions for this profile.
 * under the tracking code I see its all OK but still need to authorise. I go through
   the steps to reauthorise and its OK and saves but as soon as I go to the dashboard
   its gone. Tried clearing cache, going incogneto and using a different browser.
 * The only other change was adding Yaost which also wanted authorisation but when
   I connect the account it only showed half the accounts and not this site so I
   removed and deactivated that code. Is there a conflict? Can both run at the same
   time?

 * Hi,
 * As the error indicates, the authorization gets cleared because you don’t have
   sufficient permissions for the profile in question.

 * Hi Alin,
 * OK so yesterday it was authorised and now it’s not? Permissions have not been
   changed? The only change was adding the Yoast SEO plugin.

 * What you really need to focus on is:
 * > User does not have sufficient permissions for this profile.
 * In the link from the error there’s an id (which you removed while posting). Using
   that id and looking at Plugin Settings tab you will be able to find the property
   generating the error. Something’s wrong with the setup of that Property, it’s
   either a shared one and you don’t have enough permissions on it or related. For
   example, the Google Analytics demo account has a similar limitation [https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6367342?hl=en#limitations](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6367342?hl=en#limitations).
   While you can see the stats, you can’t access it through the API.
 * We aren’t dealing with a plugin conflict here, the error is generated by the 
   API in response to a request.

 * One more thing, are you using your own API Project credentials while authorizing?
 * If you do, the error could be generated by the Real-time API if you don’t have
   access to it.

 * I have the same issue.
    I have 2 domains, one is working fine the other has this
   issue. It seems to be that when you try to activate or re-activate the connection
   to the Google API, it fails. Alin, your advice is useless and not helpful. Don’t
   push it away. It is your problem. If it is your plugin or not that causes it 
   doesn’t matter. Your plugin relies on the Google API and if that doesn’t work,
   your plugin becomes useless. You should know best how it all works and where 
   to look.
 * Has anyone else found a solution to the problem yet?

 * Thanks in advance.
 * [@pwenwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pwenwp/) do you have any updates

 * Hi Alin,
 * I have two google accounts as the owner with many web properties for analytics.
   So full authority. The plugin works on all other sites but not this one where
   connection issues occur.
 * I have just tried again and this time I was able to get authorization to stick
   but on the dash board I get in the top frame this error: This report is unavailable(
   403) and in the bottom frame: This report is unavailable (-23)
 * Regards

 * Just refreshed and again the authorization settings are gone with the same permissions
   error message? Is this connected to the user I am logged in with ie does the 
   user details in WP admin need to match that used for google analytics?

 * [@pwenwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pwenwp/) the user in your WP instalation
   is unrelated to the one you’re authorizing Google Analytics with.
 * Since you’re using two Google Analytics accounts, can you try to reinstall the
   plugin and to authorize the plugin while using an Incognito/Private window on
   your browser? Is the easiest way to make sure the plugin is authorized with the
   right Google Analytics account.
