      The list of Google Analytics accounts and UA codes listed are outdated. How can I update them to reflect the most up-to-date accounts (& UA codes associated with those accounts)?

        Hello Search Party

        In your GA accounts have you gotten rid of the old and do you have the new in it?

        We have master accounts and Moz is linked to our master. I do not remember when in the process I gave that access as I have been on Moz close to 5 years. I do know that every account and sub account are available to me via the dropdowns. Also, there is a button below the dropdowns when you are inputting the data for Select Another GA Account. 
        I would suggest clicking that and then providing the access.

        I hope this helps you out.

        Best

          Thanks for your response, RobertFisher.

          The Moz account wasn't (& currently isn't) linked to our Master account that manages our Google Analytics & AdWords accounts. That may be the problem...and is what I asked Moz's Help Team in a private message.

          The Google Analytics selections in Moz are not input fields...only selections in a drop-down, unfortunately. Early April 2014, we updated all our UA codes for our clients in Google Analytics...making the Account & UA code selection options in Moz outdated. We did this in order to link GA with our AdWords account. We haven't deleted our old client UA codes yet as the historical data (within the last yr) is still relevant to review, compare & analyze.

          When I click "Select Another GA Account"...it links to another page that says

          This app would like to:

          --- have offline access     | cancel | accept |  (buttons)

          If I end up needing to match my Moz account's email address with our Google Analytics Master account email address...is the change as easy as updating my Login Settings & Community Profile? Or is there more to it than that?

            Hey there,

            Thanks for the question! The drop downs when selecting your GA profile and tracking code are actually populated from Google Analytics. We wouldn't have any way of displaying old information so anything you see is what's currently delivered via GA's API.

            It's possible that you have some old profiles in your GA that need to be deprecated or that Google's API has stale data in it. It's hard to say since that menu is reliant on them to send those listings.

            I hope that answers your question.
            Cheers,
            Joel.

              Thanks, Joel.

              So it looks like the solution is I need to use the same email address in Moz that is associated with our new GA accounts....in order to deliver the correct GA accounts through GA's API.

              Can I just change my email associated with my Moz account in the Login Settings to allow the correct GA accounts to feed into Moz?

              Or do I have to shut down this account and reinstate my Moz account with the universal email address that has our new GA accounts?

              What's the best next step here? Thanks for your guidance.
