You can control what users and groups can see and do on a meta site or meta app by assigning permission levels. These permissions are separate from permissions for individual sites and apps.
In this article, we’ll show you how to assign permissions for a meta site or meta app to users or groups.
Before you start
Here are a few things to know:
- Owners have full access to the account. When Owner access is on, separate permission settings aren’t shown.
- Users can have permissions assigned directly or inherit them from groups. If both apply, the higher permission determines their access to the meta site or meta app.
Grant meta site or meta app permissions to users or groups
To assign or change permissions for a meta site or meta app, follow these steps:
1. Go to Menu > Administration.
2. Navigate to Meta sites & apps.
3. Select the meta site & app to which you want to grant permissions.
4. Click Permissions and pick Users or Groups.
5. Select the access level for the user or group.
Note:
- You need owner access to change permissions assigned to groups.
- Owners have access to all meta sites and meta apps, so they don’t appear in the list of users you can assign permissions to.
Meta site or meta app permission levels
Each meta site or meta app has four permission levels:
- Manage: The user can view and edit meta site or meta app settings, manage permissions, and edit and publish tags, triggers and variables.
- Edit: The user can work with reports and edit tags, triggers and variables, but can’t publish changes.
- View: The user can view reports, tags, triggers and variables.
- No access: The user can’t access the meta site or meta app.
For a detailed comparison of what each level allows in Administration, Analytics and Tag Manager, see Compare permission levels.
