javascript - Google Analytics: User does not have sufficient permissions for this profile - Stack Overflow

I am unable to access the Google Analytics API from rails. I keep getting insufficient permissions even though I have already set the service account.

I have created a service account:

• Go to the project in console.developers.google/iam-admin/serviceaccounts
• I go to Service Accounts > Create Service Accounts
• Then select account and add a key. This will download a JSON file with the service account.

After having the service account and have the secret JSON file and the email. Then I go to Google Analytics:

• Go to Admin > Select Property > Property User Management > Add User
• Copy the Service Account email and select Read & Analyze

Once I have that, pretty much use the following code: to get the reports.

But I keep getting forbidden: User does not have sufficient permissions for this profile. Even when I try to get the access_token and use it in javascript:

gapi.analytics.auth.authorize({
  serverAuth: {
    access_token: 'accessToken'
  }
});

I get:

error:{
  code: 403
  errors: [  
    {  
      domain: "global"
      message: "User does not have sufficient permissions for this profile."
      reason: "insufficientPermissions"
    }
  ]
}

Am I missing something? This used to work and I never had a problem with it, but for some reason it stopped working. Any guidance will be appreciate it.

Thank you!

UPDATE

UA (Universal Analytics) will stop processing data on July 1st 2023. It means will stop support for it, so you will need to update to Analytics 4.

This has something to do with how you create an analytics property. Since they remove the views from analytics 4, now you need to create a universal analytics property.

• In account click on "Create Property"
• Fill the fields and click on "Show advance options"
• Activate "Create a Universal Analytics property"
• Add the website url in the field and then make sure "Create both a Google Analytics 4 ...." and "Enable enhanced measure interactions on your sites...." are marked.
• Then click next and that is it.

The code stays the same as this is an analytics change.

Either UA or for those using GA4 (Google Analytics Reporting for API v4), the solution is the same: use https://ga-dev-tools.google/account-explorer/ logged as some google account who is the owner of your Google Analytics Account (remember that several users can have this permission). Using that tool, you'll be able to easily find your View ID. Besides, it's perfect to those who want to know if their property have or doesn't have a View ID. That tool will show that!
