How to Add a User in Google Search Console

You can grant other Google accounts access to your Search Console property without sharing your login credentials. Here is how:

The Users and permissions screen in Google Search Console with the Add user button and one verified owner (name and email blurred)
Only owners can add users. Access is granted instantly to any Google account, with no invitation to accept.

Steps to Add a User

  1. In Google Search Console, go to Settings (gear icon in the left sidebar)
  2. Click "Users and permissions"
  3. Click "Add User" (top right)
  4. Enter the person's Google account email address
  5. Select the appropriate permission level
  6. Click Add

Permission Levels

  • Owner - Full access including the ability to add/remove users. Verified owners are those who completed verification themselves.
  • Full user - Can view all data and take most actions (submit sitemaps, request indexing, etc.) but cannot add users
  • Restricted user - Can only view most data; cannot take actions or see all reports
