I will contact Rob. And, see what we can do to add more admins, etc. * There are several reports available for viewing. The Overview Report might be useful for public consumption. * We are using an older version of the GA javascript collection mechanism. I will test out the newer one sometime over the next few days and report on this. * There IS general individual usage collection in some reports but the "user" information is translated into something called a "client id" -- so not by IP. * For some general information on what is collected, please see: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage#overview In summary. Still under investigation. As a few of us DO have rights to this, it would be nice if folks with direct access would voice an opinion. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "Time spent with cats is never wasted." -- Sigmund Freud
