Hi,

Two issues that concern me:

1) I have Google account that enables access both for AdWords and Analytics. Would it be possible to add another user to this account but only to the AdWords (the user should not have access to Analytics). The reason I am asking this is because the people in my company that in charge of Google PPC campaigns need to have access to reports and information for paid ads. Still, I wouldn't like to allow them access to SEO data and Analytics.

2) On the other hand: we run AdWords campaigns for several different customers from one account. It happens that one of the customers has its own account which has no access to campaign data in our account. Is there an option to make campaign data on my account visible for his Analytics account?

Thanks in advance for a good advice!

I haven't tried this myself, so I don't know if it will work, but in theory, the only people who can see Analytics profiles are the ones you give access to. So if you give access to the user for your AdWords, but *don't* give it to him for the Analytics profiles, ** in theory ** he shouldn't be able to see them. But you might want to test this first - create another Google account for yourself, give it access to the AdWords but NOT to the Analytics, and then log in as that user and see if you can see the Analytics profiles.

You'd probably want to make a separate profile (to make sure that JUST his data is included) and then grant him access. It should show up for him when he logs in.
