Manage your business on Google

Owners of Business Profiles can invite users to become owners and managers. Each person can have their own access and they don't share sign-in info. Owners and managers have different levels of access to the profile.

  • Only owners can add or remove users.
  • Managers can remove themselves from a profile.
  • Google Groups can’t be added as managers or owners.
  • Only the primary owner can transfer primary ownership.


Add owners and managers

  1. Go to your Business Profile

  2. Click Menu > Business Profile settings > Managers.

  3. At the top-left, click Add 

  4. Enter a name or email address
    If you are sharing access with the iEdit Network, enter the email address admin@ieditnetwork.com.

  5. Under "Access," choose Owner or Manager.
    When sharing access with the iEdit Network, select Owner.

  6. Click Invite.


Tips:

  • Invitees will have the option to accept the invitation and immediately become users. When they accept your invitation, you’ll get a notification email. Users in the account can find the names and email addresses of the owners and managers.
  • You can find all active users and people who are invited to become users. To cancel pending invitations, click Remove in the row.

Understand new owner & manager limitations

The new owner or manager of a Business Profile must wait for 7 days before they can manage all the features. During this 7-day period, they get an error if they:

  • Delete or un-delete a profile.
  • Remove other owners or managers from a profile.
  • Transfer primary ownership to themselves or a third user.

If the new owner or manager deletes their account within the first 7 days, they’re removed from the profile. If they change their mind, they must be added again.

If an existing owner or manager tries to transfer primary ownership of the profile to a new owner or manager still in their first 7 days, they get an error.
