Permissions and Privacy
What Google access Prism asks for, why it is read-only, and how to remove Prism's access from your Google account at any time.
2 min read Updated
When you connect Google Search Console or Google Analytics 4, Google asks you to give Prism permission. This page explains exactly what Prism asks for and how you stay in control.
What Prism asks for
Prism asks Google for read-only access only:
| Permission | What it allows |
|---|---|
analytics.readonly | Read your Google Analytics 4 reports. |
webmasters.readonly | Read your Google Search Console data. |
| Your Google email | Shows which account you signed in with, as Signed in as and your email. |
"Read-only" means Prism can look at your data but cannot change it. It cannot edit your settings, add or remove users, or delete anything in your Google accounts.
Who can see the data in Prism
Each connection belongs to one project. People on that project's team can see its reports. Which pages each person sees depends on their role and the pages turned on for the project. See Roles and permissions and Team members.
How to remove Prism's access
You can remove Prism's access at any time from your Google account.
Open your Google Account permissions
Find Prism
Look for Prism in the list of apps with access to your account.
Remove access
Choose to remove its access.
After this, Prism cannot read your data. The card on the Integrations screen shows ⚠ Needs attention. If you change your mind, click Reauthenticate. See Reconnect or disconnect.
