Adding new user via API - Last step HELP!

[Brian Logan]

I am working on a button that will allow our clients to give us access to their Google Analytics account without much hassle (instead of sending them the documents and having them attempt to follow/put in the wrong email address).  I have so far made the authentication with OAUTH2.0, and I have the accounts being listed so they can chose from a dropdown list which to give us access to.  The problem I am facing now is getting us to actually be added. They have the function mapped out, but it is not well documented yet. 

Here is where I am at:

function objectToArray($object){

$array=array();

foreach($object as $member=>$data)

{

$array[$member]=$data;

}

return $array;

}

session_start();

require_once('Google/Client.php');

require_once('Google/Service/Analytics.php');

require_once('Google/Service/Resource.php');

/** GOOGLE API INFORMATION **/

$client_id = '****';

$client_secret = '******';

$redirect_uri = '*****';

$developer_key = '****';

$client = new Google_Client();

$client->setClientId($client_id);

$client->setClientSecret($client_secret);

$client->setRedirectUri($redirect_uri);

$client->setScopes(array("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.manage.users", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.edit"));

$authUrl = $client->createAuthUrl();

$service = new Google_Service_Analytics($client);

$user = new Google_Service_Analytics_EntityUserLink();

$analytics = new Google_Service_Analytics_ManagementAccountUserLinks_Resource();

if (isset($_GET['code'])) {

$client->authenticate($_GET['code']);

$_SESSION['access_token'] = $client->getAccessToken();

$redirect = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

header('Location: ' . filter_var($redirect, FILTER_SANITIZE_URL));

}

if (isset($_SESSION['access_token']) && $_SESSION['access_token']) {

 $client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['access_token']);

}

    if (!$client->getAccessToken()) {

$authUrl = $client->createAuthUrl();

echo "<h3>Step 1</h3>";

echo "<a class='login' href='$authUrl'>Connect to Google Analytics!</a>";

} else {

if($_GET['addaccount'] == 'true') {

            // THIS IS THE FUNCTION FOR INSERTING A NEW USER

            // BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW IT WORKS 100%

$analytics->insert($_POST['analytics_id'], $postBody, $optParams);

} else {

$accounts_convert = $service->management_accounts->listManagementAccounts();

$accounts = objectToArray($accounts_convert);

foreach($accounts AS $key => $val) {

if($val['kind'] == 'analytics#account') {

$data[$val['name']] = array('id' => $val['id']);

}

}

ksort($data);

echo '<h3>Step 2</h3>';

echo '<p>Choose an analytics account.</p>';

echo '<form method="post" action="?addaccount=true">';

echo '<select name="analytics_id" id="analytics_account">';

foreach($data AS $key => $val) {

echo '<option value="'.$val['id'].'">'.$key.'</option>';

}

echo '</select>';

echo '<input type="submit" value="Connect Analytics Account" />';

echo '</form>';

}

}

In the Analytics.php file, it gives this as a description for the function:

/**

* Adds a new user to the given account. (accountUserLinks.insert)

*

* @param string $accountId

* Account ID to create the user link for.

* @param Google_EntityUserLink $postBody

* @param array $optParams Optional parameters.

* @return Google_Service_Analytics_EntityUserLink

*/

public function insert($accountId, Google_Service_Analytics_EntityUserLink $postBody, $optParams = array())

{

   $params = array('accountId' => $accountId, 'postBody' => $postBody);

   $params = array_merge($params, $optParams);

   return $this->call('insert', array($params), "Google_Service_Analytics_EntityUserLink");

}

I am at a loss how to create the `$postBody`, and what the `$opParams` could be, (is this where you put in the permissions you would like, etc.). How do I make those two, and what could they be? (If I am doing it wrong, please forgive me, I am new to this, and like I said, no documentation.)

You need to create a permissions object and set permissions, create a user object and set email, and then a user link object and set permissions and email using the previously created objects. For example:

// Setup Permissions

$permissions = new Google_Service_Analytics_EntityUserLinkPermissions();

$permissions->setLocal(array('READ_AND_ANALYZE'));

// list of permissions in devguide https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/config/mgmt/v3/mgmtUserPermissions#levels

// Setup User

$user = new Google_Service_Analytics_UserRef();

$user->setEmail('g...@gmail.com');

// Setup user link (i.e. post body)

$el = new Google_Service_Analytics_EntityUserLink();

$el->setPermissions($permissions);

$el->setUserRef($user);

// Insert User

// $el is the post body

$response = $analytics->management_accountUserLinks->insert('123456', $el);
