Google products such as Data Studio, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager require a Google Account to access. So how do you link your work email to a Google Account to access Google Analytics and other products?
If you try to add someone without a Google account, you'll get this error: “Unable to add users. This email does not correspond to a Google Account. Fix these issues to continue.”
