It should be either: GA account ID, GA4 property ID, Measurement ID (Web), "mobilesdk_app_id" (Android) or "GOOGLE_APP_ID"(iOS) }, follow the steps for at least one of the web domains/apps:

Create a text file and save it as: analytics.txt. Include the following string of text in this text file: "GooGhywoiu9839t543j0s7543uw1 - add {INSERT EMAIL ADDRESS} to GA account {INSERT GA4-ID} with {INSERT ACCESS LEVEL} permissions - date {INSERT DATE}.”
You’ll append "analytics.txt" to the end of your URL. For example, if your site URL is http://www.example.com, the uploaded file URL will look like this: http://www.example.com/analytics.txtUpload this text file to the root of each of the domains from which you're requesting access.
