Remove the collaborator from Google Analytics

Use this procedure when the collaborator should no longer see GA4 data.

Removal Workflow

  1. Navigate to Admin → Access Management at the account and property levels where the collaborator was granted access.
  2. Locate the collaborator user or service account.
  3. Choose Remove access or downgrade roles to None if you need to keep the identity for audit purposes.
  4. Repeat for any linked products (Google Ads, BigQuery, Search Console) to avoid residual permissions.
  5. Save changes and confirm the account disappears from the user list.

Evidence & Communication

  • Export the Access Management list before and after removal for your records.
  • Record the removal in your IAM tracker with request details and approvals.
  • Notify the collaborator’s team to confirm the offboarding is complete.

Additional Clean-Up

  • Transfer ownership of audiences, conversions, or custom dimensions if the collaborator created them.
  • Remove the collaborator’s accounts from BigQuery datasets, Looker Studio reports, or other downstream tools.
  • Rotate API keys or service account credentials if the collaborator managed automation workflows.
