Things to remember about GSC Permissions

Sometimes it’s good to share GSC data with someone - a consultant, colleague, or friend to get some additional insight. If you’d like to add me to your GSC account, follow the instructions in the video and add, chris@meredithshusband.com

Keep in mind that granting ownership rights enables the added individual to remove your access. If you don't see the "Add User" option, it means you don't have the necessary permissions yourself. In that case, reach out to the person who set up the account for you and request ownership rights.

Once you've added the user, they will receive an invitation to join your Google Search Console account. You can manage their access and permissions, or remove them if needed, through the "Users and Permissions" page.

Remember to regularly review and manage your account access to ensure that only authorized individuals have the appropriate permissions

Note:

If you don't see the option to add user, it means that you are not an owner of the account. In this case, reach out to the person who set up the account for you and ask them to make you an owner.
