2. Provision and deprovision analytics users based on identity lifecycle events

Data flow: OpenText Identity and Access Management ? Google Analytics

When an employee joins, changes roles, or leaves the organization, OpenText Identity and Access Management can trigger access updates for Google Analytics-related accounts and permissions. This is especially useful for marketing teams, agencies, and regional business units that require time-bound access.

• Automates onboarding and offboarding for analytics access
• Prevents orphaned accounts and unauthorized data exposure
• Aligns access rights with current job responsibilities

3. Restrict access to sensitive analytics segments and reports by role

Data flow: OpenText Identity and Access Management ? Google Analytics

Organizations often need to limit access to performance data by geography, business unit, or campaign ownership. OpenText Identity and Access Management can map enterprise roles to Google Analytics access policies so users only see the reports and segments relevant to their function.

• Protects confidential campaign, revenue, or customer behavior data
• Supports separation of duties across marketing, finance, and operations
• Enables consistent access governance across teams

4. Centralize authentication for external agencies and partners using federated identity

• Eliminates unmanaged shared credentials
• Improves partner access governance and traceability
• Supports faster onboarding for campaign support teams

5. Enforce step-up authentication for high-risk analytics access

Data flow: OpenText Identity and Access Management ? Google Analytics

For users accessing sensitive analytics environments, OpenText Identity and Access Management can require stronger authentication based on risk, location, device, or network conditions. This is useful when Google Analytics contains business-critical reporting tied to revenue, customer acquisition, or regulated markets.

• Reduces risk of unauthorized access from compromised accounts
• Supports conditional access policies for sensitive reporting
• Helps meet internal security and compliance requirements

6. Use analytics access logs to support security monitoring and audit reviews

Data flow: Google Analytics ? OpenText Identity and Access Management

Access and usage patterns from Google Analytics can be reviewed alongside identity events in OpenText Identity and Access Management to identify unusual login behavior, excessive report access, or access by inactive users. Security and compliance teams can use this combined visibility during audits or investigations.

• Improves detection of suspicious access patterns
• Supports audit evidence for access reviews
• Helps identify dormant or overprivileged users

7. Streamline access reviews for analytics data owners

Data flow: Google Analytics ? OpenText Identity and Access Management

• Improves accountability for data ownership

8. Support secure self-service access requests for analytics reporting
