Access filters for tag data

With access filters, you can choose which data on site sessions will be accessible to a Yandex Metrica user. For example, you can filter traffic from a specific ad campaign or location, granting access solely to this traffic.

If a user has access to a tag with an access filter, only the information that matches the filter criteria will be available to them in all reports. No other data will be displayed.

Note. You can only create a single tag access filter in Yandex Metrica. To create more filters, upgrade to Yandex Metrica Pro.
