For a Google Analytics import into Matomo we need to

[x] @marisastrong provide Joel access to the GA property, or you can just give him its Account ID, Property ID and View ID, which are listed in the GA property.
[x] provide date in the past you'd like the import to start with. import's end date will be whatever day we start the import, but I can also set this to a past date as well.
[x] work with Eric to obtain access to the new Matomo property once it's available.

The GA import is now complete. The Site ID of this data in Matomo is 34.

Thank you @JoelCDL

I'm not sure how to view this data. Do we need to configure something with the siteID?

Thank you @JoelCDL!

@marisastrong @JoelCDL -- I think we will need access to this site ID. On the matomo.cdlib.org I only have access to SITE_ID: 21 (currently being used in prod for tracking), but when I updated the SITE_ID to 34 in the URL, it gave me the following error:

Matomo error: You can't access this resource as it requires 'view' access for the website id = 34.

Sorry, I forgot to give you both access to that data. You should now see it in your Matomo dashboards and it's labeled "ezid.cdlib.org - UA Archive".

Confirming the access to ezid.cdlib.org - UA Archive, thank you again @JoelCDL -- this is very helpful!
