How to grant access to a Yandex Metrica counter: a practical guide
Shared access to Yandex Metrica should be organised carefully. Correct permissions let teams analyse visits and behaviour while protecting confidential information. This article explains how to grant access and avoid common configuration mistakes.
Yandex Metrica access types
Counter access types serve different purposes:
- Guest access: read-only access to reports;
- Public access: public report links accessible to anyone holding the URL;
- Full access: allows staff or suppliers to change settings.
Who needs counter access?
Clear roles and permissions improve workflow:
- For marketers and agencies: full permissions for goals and integrations;
- For analysts: read-only access avoids accidental changes;
- For partners or clients: public access can simplify metric sharing.
Avoid Yandex Metrica permission mistakes
Common access-management mistakes:
- Unnecessary full permissions: can cause accidental setting changes and data loss;
- Poor public-link management: uncontrolled access risks information leaks;
- No regular permission reviews: old accounts retain unnecessary access.
Document granting and revoking access and maintain a current user list.
