# Google Analytics 4

## Option 1 (Recommended): Grant GA4 access to Connecty

#### Add Connecty to your GA4 property (so we can set up the BigQuery link)

1. Sign in to **Google Analytics** with an account that has **Admin** (or high-level) access to your GA4 property.
2. In GA4, click **Admin** (gear icon).
3. In the **Property** column, open [**Property access management**](https://analytics.google.com/analytics/web/#/?pagename=admin-access-management-property\&utm_source=gahc\&utm_medium=dlinks) (sometimes shown as **Access management**).
4. Click **+** (top-right) → **Add users**.
5. Enter the Connecty email address we provide.
6. Set the role to [**Editor**](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9305587#zippy=%2Cin-this-article) (minimum required).
   * If you want us to manage everything long-term, you can grant a higher role, but **Editor is enough** for linking.
7. (Optional) Leave “Notify new users by email” enabled.
8. Click **Add**.

**After you add us, please send:**

* Your **GA4 Property ID** (and Property name)
* Confirmation you added the Connecty email
* Whether you want **Daily**, **Streaming**, or **both** exports
* Preferred export region (**US** or **EU**, if applicable)

That’s it - once we have access, we’ll link your GA4 property to **Connecty’s BigQuery**.

## Option 2: Self-serve  <a href="#step3" id="step3"></a>

### Link a Google Analytics 4 property to Connecty's BigQuery <a href="#step3" id="step3"></a>

#### Before you start&#x20;

* You must be an [Editor or above](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9305587) at the property level to link a GA4 property to BigQuery.
* &#x20;[OWNER](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/access-control-primitive-roles?utm_source=support.google.com\&utm_medium=referral\&utm_campaign=ga4_bq_xsell_campaign\&utm_content=from_page_GA4_Set_up_BigQuery_Export) access to Connecty’s BigQuery project (we will grant this so you can complete the linking)

#### Share with us

* **Your GA4 Property ID**
* The **Google account email** you’ll use to set up the link (must be the account you’re signed into in GA4)
* Your preferred export **region** (**US** or **EU**, if applicable)
* Whether you want **Daily**, **Streaming**, or **both** exports

#### **We’ll provide:**

* **Connecty BigQuery Project ID** (the exact ID you must select / enter)
* Confirmation your email has been granted the required access to link GA4 → BigQuery
* The **region you should select** during setup (must match the project)

#### Then, follow the steps shown in the image
