I noticed a small update to Google Analytics today, hopefully its new to everyone and will become useful when you have one or many accounts tied to several Analytics accounts.

I don't see this. How do you tie one or more accounts to your Analytics account?

I've had this since day one (except it used to be in the very top right of the page before it was moved a few months ago). When you add users via the Access Manager, they get this drop down to select which Analytics account they want to view.

Its there for me. It may have to do with the fact that you might be sharing another Analytics account and your permission as User or Admin (like i have). So if you have your own Analytics account you'll see it on the drop-down plus any other accounts from other people.

dpneal:

You should create another GA account, then set up a profile for your webpage and assign external users with admin rights (point to your first account).

However, there was a bug with this feature, at least for me & my friends.

In short: I created a bogus profile and assigned a few of my friends to it. Friends, who had own GA account already.
The problem was, that all people I picked up could see my bougs profile only (Their old profiles dissapeared. It wasn't possible to switch between profiles, because top-right menu was not available to them). You can imagine how terrified they were – "It seems, that all data is lost" :-)

After few days however, top-right menu was implemented for them, and they could access old log files.
