To use the GA4 Setup Assistant, you need the Editor or Administrator role for the account.
- In Google Analytics, click
Admin (lower left).
- In the Account column, make sure that your desired account is selected. (If you only have one Google Analytics account, it's already selected.)
- In the Property column, select the UA property that currently collects data for your apps.
- In the Property column, click GA4 Setup Assistant. It's the first option in the Property column. If you don't see the option, you likely don't have permission to access the tool.
- Click Get Started under I want to create a new Google Analytics 4 property.
- In the Create a new Google Analytics 4 property screen, select Enable data collection using existing analytics.js and gtag.js tags and click on Create property.
Analytics will create a connected site tag between your Universal Analytics and GA4 properties
When you're done, you'll see "You have successfully connected your properties" at the top of your Google Analytics 4 Property Setup Assistant page. Click Go to your GA4 property
Make a note of your GA4 property's name so you can find it later. If your Universal Analytics property name is "Example property", your GA4 property name will be "Example property - GA4".
Congratulations! You've created a new GA4 property. There are additional steps we need to complete to finish setting up your new GA4 property. Please follow the next KB article 'Adding Data Streams Through Firebase'.
