# How to Give Someone Access to Your Google Search Console

How to give someone access to your Google Search Console, which permission to choose, and what to do if you can't add users or see the wrong website.

You can let a teammate, an SEO company or our team see your website in Google Search Console. Only an **owner** of your website's property can add people.

## Add someone

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open your property

Go to [Search Console](https://search.google.com/search-console) and choose your website from the property list at the top left.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Open Users and permissions

Click **Settings**, then **Users and permissions**. If you don't see it, you're not an owner. See [I can't add users](#i-cant-add-users) below.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add them

Click **Add user** and enter the email of their Google account. It has to be a Google account, not a group email. Choose a permission and click **Add**.

They see your website in their Search Console right away.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Which permission to choose

| Permission     | What they can do                                                               |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Owner**      | Everything, including adding and removing people.                              |
| **Full**       | See all your data and use most tools. This is what most SEO companies ask for. |
| **Restricted** | See most of your data.                                                         |

Only make someone an owner if you trust them with your Search Console. For more detail, see Google's [Managing owners, users, and permissions](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7687615).

## Remove someone

In **Users and permissions**, click the three dots next to the person and click **Remove access**.

If Google warns they could get access back, they verified the website themselves. Make sure you're still a verified owner, then remove the tokens Google lists. A property with no verified owner locks everyone out. If a token is a DNS record, email <support@agentfire.com> and we'll remove it, since we manage your DNS.

## Common Questions

<details>

<summary>I can't add users.</summary>

Only owners can add people. Ask the person who set up your Search Console to make you an owner. If we set it up, email <support@agentfire.com> with your Google account email. If we still have access, we'll add you. To check, see [How to Set Up Google Search Console](/launch/google-services/articles-1504905-01-setting-up-google-search-console.md).

<details>

<summary>I got an access email but I see a different website.</summary>

You're probably signed in to a different Google account. Click your picture at the top right of Search Console and switch to the account that got the email. Then check the property list at the top left for your website.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Google says I'm not an owner when I open a report.</summary>

The report is from a property someone else owns, like a past web company. Ask them to add you, or set up your own property. See [How to Set Up Google Search Console](/launch/google-services/articles-1504905-01-setting-up-google-search-console.md).

<details>

<summary>Do you need access to my Search Console?</summary>

Only if you ask us to look into your Google results. We'll tell you which email to add as a **Full** user.
