Proposed resolution


/**
 * Implements hook_install().
 */
function google_analytics_install($is_syncing) {
  // Make the default install more user and GDPR friendly.
  if (!$is_syncing) {
    if($role = Role::load(AccountInterface::AUTHENTICATED_ROLE)) {
      $role->grantPermission('opt-in or out of google analytics tracking');
    
      $success = $role->save();
    
      if ($success) {
        $messenger = \Drupal::messenger();
        $messenger->addMessage(t('Module %module granted %permission permission to authenticated users.', ['%module' => 'Google Analytics', '%permission' => t('Opt-in or out of tracking')]), 'status');
      }
    }
  }
