StatCounter User Types
Hi folks,
Did you know that you can set up different users in your StatCounter account?
In fact, if you want to allow other people to access your StatCounter account, we strongly recommend that you do this.
Using our User Access Management feature you can also set up different levels of access for each user.
How do I add a user to my StatCounter account?
- Log in to your StatCounter account and click “Users” in the top navigation bar.
- Click “Add New User”.
- Complete the “Account Details” and “Personal Details”.
- In the “User Access Rights” section, assign the chosen user type.
- In the “Project Access” section, select which projects you want your new user to access.
- At the end of the page, click “Add New User” and you’re done!
What are the different User Types?
- Admin (full access to ALL projects)
This gives the user FULL access to ALL projects in your account - including adding and deleting other users and projects. - Web Designer
This gives the user limited access only to projects you allow. Web Designer Users can view stats and configure the tracking and installation code. - Billing
This gives the user limited access only to projects you allow. Billing Users can view stats, view and pay invoices and upgrade and downgrade your account. - Stats Viewer
This gives the user limited access only to projects you allow. It gives the user the ability to view the stats for each project you allow. - Restricted Stats Viewer
This gives the user limited access only to projects you allow. It gives the user the ability to view only the Summary Stats for each project you allow.
How do I change the User Access to a project?
To change the User Access to a project, go to the My Projects page in your StatCounter account. Click the lock icon lock beside your project name. Check the box beside the users you want to have access to this project. Finally, click Update Project Access.
How do I change the settings for a User?
To change the settings for a User, click Users in the top navigation bar. Click the “Pencil and Paper” icon beside the chosen username to edit the User.
WARNING
Please be extremely careful in allowing third parties to have Admin Access to your StatCounter account. Your account may be compromised if you allow a third party to have Admin Access to your account.

Good option
July 30th, 2009 at 8:53 am
I will try to use it.
July 30th, 2009 at 8:55 am
Great option, because I afraid using public stat / access. Thanks
July 30th, 2009 at 8:58 am
Is there limited how much we can add new user ?
July 30th, 2009 at 8:58 am
These options make our life a lot easier while managing Multiple websites.
July 30th, 2009 at 9:02 am
I will try this option. Thanks
July 30th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Thanks for the information about the application
July 30th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Another excellent post, I will certainly have a look at doing this
July 31st, 2009 at 2:41 am
Cool!
July 31st, 2009 at 3:37 pm
My son told me to check out your blog and I must say I’m impressed, very helpful.
August 1st, 2009 at 3:07 pm
My statcounter is all mine I will not give it to any one.
Any way, holiday time, all the best for you statcounter staff.
Thanks
August 1st, 2009 at 3:14 pm
For a big campany yes
August 1st, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Not something I’m likely to use but I do like the public stats option which I do use on my blog.
August 3rd, 2009 at 4:07 pm
This is a very website stats tracking tool. The wordpress plugin simplifies the installation further
Thanks

Very cool. I’m definitely going to use this option. Thanks.
August 4th, 2009 at 4:42 am
Simply superb.
Statcounter’s another milestone in traffic analysis. It’s really very useful for my friend’s company.
August 4th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
No I didn’t know that you can set up different users in your StatCounter account, thanks for the post.
August 5th, 2009 at 10:06 am
Excellent - Makes sharing this info with my web company much easier now. Thanks.
August 6th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Is there a limit to how many additional users we can add?
August 6th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
Aonther great option by the Statcounter Team……….love it !
August 7th, 2009 at 3:28 am
Is this a developed feature or just a reminder since I’ve seen this option on Statcounter for a while now.
August 7th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Excellent! This allows potential clients to preview stats in real-time instead of relying otherwise. Great work Aodhan !!
August 7th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
I guess I would allow someone to have a peek at the stats only if someone is interested in advertising or something.
August 7th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Loving the service on my naruto episode site, it is very accurate and I love that it can be invisible.
August 8th, 2009 at 3:51 am
Statcounter is an amazing tool and this is a neat feature, but I think it’s about time the interface was upgraded. Really the only thing google analytics has over stat counter is the interface. I use both, but I actually like statcounter better, even though it has an ugly interface
August 8th, 2009 at 9:22 am
HI
This really nice service and good work.
i like it so .
thank you.
August 10th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
This is a good feature if you want to have separate user accounts–nice!
August 10th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
I didn’t know it!,
thanks, I will do it right now.

love it love it love it…
I have always loved statcounter.com and you guys keep blowing me away with more and more..a big wow..!!!
I am also wondering about a limit to the users we are able to add..?
August 11th, 2009 at 8:55 am
i will try it! thanks!
August 11th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Thanks for the update.
Being a SEO Provider, it was really needed thing for me.
Keep up the good job.
August 11th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
I will look into it thanks,
We saw you on the telly last night and I had no idea that statcounter was Irish. Well done and keep up the good work.
August 12th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Love the features, but selecting the user type seems kinda non-essential. I know it’s helpful for identifying, but in the end, wouldn’t it be better just to have a blank space where we could type in the name or title of the user?
August 12th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
Nice tips , thank you about that
it’s gonna help me save a lot of time
August 12th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
I really appreciate the step by step way you explained it - even techi-challenged can follow.
Thanks guys!
August 13th, 2009 at 6:38 am
This really helps us solve a data sharing problem, as we refer to StatCounter more than any other tracking application we’ve used. A lot of the others are slow and just too bloated with features we don’t need.
August 13th, 2009 at 11:07 am
Another great addition to the already excellent Statcounter service.
Well done guys, keep it up. Now if only we could have a bigger log size as standard?!
August 15th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
I agree this really . thank you for sharing
August 16th, 2009 at 2:32 am
Seems like a useful feature if you want to grant certain people different kinds of limited access to your statistics and counters. I admit I had no idea this kind of thing even existed
So thank you for the detailed explanation.
August 18th, 2009 at 7:02 am
Man- this just gets better everytime I read this blog.
This program is great.
Thanks again

very very thx.
August 22nd, 2009 at 3:53 am
In the main I`m impressed about how many statistics details StatCounter can offer for a free account. Thank you very much.
August 22nd, 2009 at 6:08 pm
I love using statcounter,it has proved time and again very useful.
August 23rd, 2009 at 4:35 am
The idea of creating multiple users rocks! I believe “Stats Viewer” is the one will be useful for webmasters to share their stats.
Thanks for sharing nice tips.

August 23rd, 2009 at 2:16 pm
I’ll use this - I check several sites and would like the end user to have simple access to stats.
August 24th, 2009 at 2:25 am
Great tool ..But still learning how to use it to the best performance.
August 24th, 2009 at 8:05 pm
That looks interesting to me. Great news and good feature. I like your project and i use your service at my site. Thanks for your dedication.
September 13th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
This is a fantastic option for people like myself who do not want to give full access to everyone. This is exactly the type of thing I have been looking to use on a number of my websites, and being able to give restrcited access to my web designer etc is a great feature. Thanks alot
September 14th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Statcounter just keeps getting better.
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:18 am
Wooh it is nice
