    • “Editing” — The user can fully manage the tag, but can't delete it or move it to another account.
  3. Click Add and then Save.

To view statistics as a guest, the user should be registered and logged in to Yandex.

Representative access

The representatives feature is designed for those who want to collaboratively manage Yandex Metrica tags from different accounts (usernames) with equal rights.

As the owner of a Yandex Metrica account, you can grant representative access to your account to anyone who has a Yandex username. Representatives get full rights to view, edit, and delete tags in the account (including guest tags).

To add a new representative:
  1. Go to the Account settings page and open the Representatives tab.
  2. Click Add representative.
  3. In the field, enter the username of the user you want to grant access to.
  4. Save your changes.
Note. All representatives receive access to all newly created tags.

Access to the statistics module on the siteβ

Note. The tool is in beta testing and doesn't support all tags. If the Statistics on site module option isn't shown in your tag settings on the Access page, it means that you don't have access to the feature.

Website traffic and user behavior statistics collected by Yandex Metrica can be displayed right on website pages. Only the owner of the Yandex Metrica tag installed on the website can view the statistics. Other users cannot receive viewing access. We recommend viewing statistics in Yandex Browser or a browser that doesn't limit cross-site tracking cookies (third-party cookies), such as Google Chrome.

Statistics are displayed on the website page in a mobile version of Yandex Metrica, which opens as a separate window.

To view the data:
  1. Log in to Yandex with the username you used when creating the Yandex Metrica tag for your website.
  2. Go to your website. Its URL must match the one specified in the tag settings.
  3. Click .

Tag settings are only available in the full version of Yandex Metrica. To open it, click in the statistics window.

Access to “Monetization” reports

Attention. Access rights to the “Monetization” report group are displayed only for tags that are configured in the Yandex Advertising Network interface.

Restoring access to a tag

Choose a situation:

Lost password

Click the link Forgot your password? and choose a method for restoring access, such as by answering the secret question you set during registration.

If you couldn't restore access on the first attempt, try other ways of spelling the answer to the secret question or change your keyboard layout. You can try other recovery options, such as a secondary email address or a free SMS to your mobile phone if you previously specified the number in your account settings.

If you couldn't restore your password, support can transfer your tag to a different account.
