This is not optimal as they own the data and can not give you admin access b/c you will have admin access to all account. You should tell the company that you want your own GA account and, if they will not create one, you should create one. Check out <a href="http://www.epikone.com/blog/2007/07/14/breaking-up-is-hard-to-do-ga-account-setup-tip/" rel="nofollow">this post</a> about creating accounts. I think it describes your situation quite well. Justin Hi Phil,

It sounds like the company has given you a profile in their GA account. This is not optimal as they own the data and can not give you admin access b/c you will have admin access to all account.

You should tell the company that you want your own GA account and, if they will not create one, you should create one.

Check out this post about creating accounts. I think it describes your situation quite well.

We have just launched a new website with new analytics. The analytics was setup for us by the company hosting our website however they did not give me access to setting up goals. I have been told I have to have them do that because they have other websites they host and they do not want to give me complete access as I would be able to see everything they have analytics set up on. A webmaster in the past had changed some configuration for me so I could have complete control over my site with GA. The current company does not seem to know how to do this or does not want to do it. Do you know how or have a post on this already so I can direct them to it? So I can begin setting my own goals for my website. Thanks I do not know if these upcoming posts will answer my question. We have just launched a new website with new analytics.
