Google Search Console Permission Levels
When adding users to a Google Search Console property, there are three distinct permission levels to choose from:
- Owner
Each property must have at least one Verified Owner, which is a user who has successfully completed the property verification process. Other users granted this level of access are known as Delegated Owners. - Full
Users with Full permissions can access all data and perform certain tasks such as verifying fixes and submitting URL indexing requests. - Restricted
Restricted users have limited access, typically allowing them to view most data without the ability to make changes.
For a detailed overview of what each permission level allows, refer to the official documentation on Google Search Console Users and Permissions.
How to Modify a User’s Permission Level
If you need to update the permission level for an existing user, follow the steps outlined in the “Users and Permissions” settings. From there, you can use the drop-down menu in the “Permission” column to adjust the user’s access level as needed.
