I am having issues with running the add-on in a certain google account. Each time I attempt to run a report by swapping out the View ID, I get the "User does not have sufficient permissions for this profile.". Nothing in the report would be specific to only one View. 

I have tested this for several different Analytics properties I have associated with my google account, and I keep getting the same message. I have full permission for each Analytics property, so I do not believe that this the actual issue. 

I have been able to use the add-on successfully with another google account (with different analytics properties), and I do not get the same warning. I have tested this with around 10 different Google Analytics properties and get the same issue every time. 


I need this report to deliver a standard monthly report for several Analytics properties, and the easiest way to do that is by just changing the View Id and re-running the report. 



Any help or tips would be great.

Do you get the same error when running the report from the Query Explorer?

No, it seems to work just fine using the Query Explorer.

Hmmm, in that case I'm not really sure what to suggest.

I don't know why it would work in one case but not in the other, and since I don't have access to your account I can't really test it myself.

Please let me know if you discover any more useful information though.

Is there nothing else you can think of? Maybe an account setting? Or another app that might cause an issue? 

I've tried comparing the settings between the account that doesn't work, with the account that does, and nothing sticks out.

Found the issues, and its now resolved. 

I have several Google accounts I was signed into, as I need to switch account often for work. 

The account that could successfully run the report was the default account. The account that could not run the report had this in the url: 


From what I understand, the authuser=3 indicates the order of which the accounts are logged in. Only the default account can run the report, and pull any data in. Just make sure the account you are trying to pull data from is the default, or the only account signed in.

Ahh, thanks for sharing that!

I'll make sure to suggest checking that for people who report the same issue.
