Remove the collaborator from Google Analytics
Use this procedure when the collaborator should no longer see GA4 data.
Removal Workflow
- Navigate to Admin → Access Management at the account and property levels where the collaborator was granted access.
- Locate the collaborator user or service account.
- Choose Remove access or downgrade roles to None if you need to keep the identity for audit purposes.
- Repeat for any linked products (Google Ads, BigQuery, Search Console) to avoid residual permissions.
- 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.
