What is Google Search Console and why would I want to share access?

Google Search Console is a free tool provided by Google that helps webmasters, SEO professionals, and digital marketers monitor their website's presence in Google search results, including integration with Google Analytics. Sharing access allows team members or stakeholders to view and manage SEO data, helping improve the website's performance in search results. By collaborating through Google Search Console, you can optimize your site more effectively and leverage different skills and insights.

What are the different permission levels in Google Search Console?

In Google Search Console, there are primarily two permission levels you can assign: Full Access and Restricted User. A user with Full Access can manage settings, see all data, and add or remove users, whereas a Restricted User can only view the data but cannot make any changes or adjustments. Choose the appropriate level of access based on the user's role in your team.

Can I remove access to a user in the Google Search Console?

To do this, again navigate to the Users and Permissions section in your Google Search Console account, find the user you want to remove, and click on the trash bin icon next to their name.
