Manage your Business Manager profile

Give super admin access

Super admins hold the highest access to the connected apps and can manage apps, people and their access to apps for your business. If you sign up for Business Manager with your Google Account, you automatically become a super admin. However, access to specific features and the ability to link services may require additional admin permissions within individual Google services like Merchant Centre or Google Ads.

Note: In some cases, linking existing accounts may require action from an existing super admin or account owner. On the People and access tab, you can also designate other people in your business as super admins. Learn how to manage your business as a super admin.

As a super admin, you can add or remove:

  • Another super admin
  • Admins and other people with access to apps
  • Google apps and services
  • Shop Business Profiles
Tip: Users of your business's Google apps have view-only access in Business Manager. Their permissions in the individual Google Accounts remain the same.
