If you manage Google Analytics services for an ever growing number of separate clients, and you need to ensure administrator rights for representatives from each client organization in addition to your own administrator rights, which of the following is the recommended option for setting up Google Analytics for each client?
Ask an administrator within each organization to set up the Google Analytics account and provide you with administrator rights
Since administrator access can be granted only at the account level, it is not at all advisable to provide administrator access to an organization if other properties within the same account are tracking data for the websites of other organizations. In other words, even though a website corresponds with a separate Google Analytics property, you cannot restrict administrator access to a specific property within an account.
If you are managing the analytics for a limited number of organizations, you could set up separate Google Analytics accounts under your single Google login and provide administrator access to the organizations as needed. If, however, your client list is growing rapidly, you will soon reach the limit of 25 Google Analytics accounts created per Google login, so a better strategy would be for the organizations to set up their own Google Analytics accounts and to include you as an administrator.
Assuming no cross-domain tracking, which of the following are NOT standard practice?

2. Tracking multiple websites within a single view
In Google Analytics, a property corresponds with a single
website and tracking code, and each view belongs to a single property, so it is not standard or recommended to track multiple websites within a single property or view.
