# Add a User in PlanGuru Analytics

## This guide walks through the process of adding a new user and inviting them to PlanGuru Analytics.

PlanGuru Analytics lets your team collaborate on dashboards, reports, and analytics. Before someone can access Analytics, they must first exist as a user in **PlanGuru**.

---

### **Step 1: Confirm the user exists in PlanGuru**

1. Log in to [**PlanGuru**](https://app.planguru.com/#/auth/login)
2. Select **Edit Profile & Preferences**.

Review the lists of:

- **Additional Users** (for Business/Nonprofit Plans)
- **Advisor / Client Users **(for Advisor Plans)

**Found them?** Skip to Step 3

**Not in PlanGuru yet?** Continue to Step 2

**Note:** A user can be added to PlanGuru with **"NO ACCESS" to PlanGuru App scenarios** and still get access to Analytics.

---

### **2. Add the User to PlanGuru** (if needed)

1. Add them as a new PlanGuru user.
2. Assign the appropriate permissions and click **SUBMIT**.   
   -  An invitation email will be sent automatically to create a password. Once they accept the invite and create their password, they can be added to Analytics. 

> **Tip:** If the user only needs access to Analytics dashboards and reports, you can add them to a Company with **NO ACCESS to PlanGuru models** while still allowing them to use PlanGuru Analytics.

---

### **3. Log in to [PlanGuru Analytics](https://analytics.planguru.com/login) to add the new User**

Once logged into PlanGuru Analytics, you will see a list of Companies within your account.

Here you will select what type of access to add the user to.

**There are 3 different user roles within PlanGuru Analytics:**

1. **Group Access** - Access to ALL Companies within your workspace with Read/Write and Publish capabilities. By default the admin user who connected the Company will have this level of access, and can then begin to add other users within Analytics.

2. **Additional Users** - Access to one or multiple selected Companies within your workspace with Read/Write and Publish capabilities  
   ![](https://help.planguru.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-20%20at%208.14.33%20AM-1.png?width=579&height=245&name=Screenshot%202026-02-20%20at%208.14.33%20AM-1.png)
3. **Client Portal -** Access to Read Only Dashboards and Reports that are selected by higher-access users

Click on the User Role you would like to add them and the click the **"+ Invite" button**

Enter the appropriate info for **First Name, Last Name**, and **Email Address**

⚠️ **Important:** The email address **must exactly match** the email address used for the user's PlanGuru account.

Click **INVITE**, the user will receive an email inviting them to access PlanGuru Analytics.

Once accepted, they log in with their **existing PlanGuru username/password** and see dashboards/reports based on their assigned role.
