Probably a very simpel question but i cannot find an answer
If i have two completely unrelated websites which needs invidivual tracking. Can they be created and administrated using the same account?
If i create a new website using an extisting account “Site or app ID” is different for each website but “JavaScript library address” and “Tracker address” is the same and is using https://xxxxxx.containers.piwik.pro/ppms.js from the first website
Hi @kf1web,
You can create up to 10 separate sites using the Piwik PRO Core account. Go to the Administration module > Sites & apps > Add a site or app.
Once you do that you will get different installation code (Installation tab) than the one in your first site. It simply uses a different UUID generated upon site creation.
edit:
Yeah, the JavaScript Tracking client (ppms.js) doesn’t really change from site to site. It only needs a different site UUID to know where the traffic should be sent.
Which is kinda odd. It might be two competitors and if someone got access to the container they might notice. Guess i need to create a new account to avoid that?
Thank you for swift reply
Just to be sure - this is not the tag manager container with all of the user’s tags in it. It’s just a tracking library which contains methods required to push tracking requests to Piwik PRO backend.

You can grant access to a single site to specific users or user groups, so there is no need of having separate accounts. Your account sees all of them because it’s an Owner account.
Hi
Lets supposed website 1 was deleted or somethnig like that hence https://xxxxxx.containers.piwik.pro/ppms.js would not be accessible. Would that be an issue? If not then which role does that file actually have?
Afaik this is not correct as the ppms.js file is served for the whole account (e.g. https://abartczak.containers.piwik.pro/ppms.js for abartczak.piwik.pro account).
This:
Yes what if you deleted your website using
https://abartczak.containers.piwik.pro/ppms.js
that would be deleting abartczak.com or what your website is called. Then would other websites in the account using https://abartczak.containers.piwik.pro/ppms.js be affected?
No, deleting one website that uses the tracking code (so JSTC) doesn’t impact any of the other websites if they are tracked under different UUIDs.
