Support for USER ID tracking in Goggle analytics
Google analytics supports the use of a non-personally indentifiable indentifier to be sent from sites that support logins. When this is done it does a better job of tracking unique users and allows sessions to be stitched across browsers and platforms (user 8675309 pulled up this article on his phone and then 3 minutes later he continued his session on a pc).

There's more to it than just changing the Google javascript. ToS would need to change and the ability to Opt out would need to be added to user's self service pages.

Customer support service by UserEcho
TownNews told our client they don't provide analytics on logins and such. There's probably a relatively vague way to glean the information from Google Analytics but I'm interested in finding a way to track and report on the number of times users log in and access news behind the wall, their pageviews etc - the standard data GA offers.
The publisher would be happy to change ToS, I'm sure.
Do you have a few minutes to either point me in the right direction or maybe help us out for an hour or two setting up this capability?
Thanks in advance.
Townnews wasn't offering any direct support of this at the time of my post and my client wasn't prepared to develop something custom so I didn't pursue it. I just revisited the links I posted and it appears google has made their part easier to implement. I may see what I can do on my dev site.
We do have a new feature that logs logged in user activity for the purpose of providing raw log data to AAM for their auditing pruposes. From what you are saying this may serve your purposes. Here is the link to the document describing it.

The AAM tracking feature is included with our Subscription Pro Product. Please submit a ticket to our Customer support team and they can point you in the right direction, whether it be turning on the AAM tracking or directing your client to the appropriate sales representative.
