What are “Allowed Email Domains” or “Allowed Domains”?
“Allowed Email Domains” or “Allowed Domains” is an option in your security settings that enables you to control which email domains can be added to your Google Ads account.
Allowed Domains can ensure that users from outside your organization don’t get invited to access your Google Ads account. For instance, if you set “example.com” as the allowed email domain for your account, you'll only be able to invite user@example.com to the account, but not user@gmail.com. Note that only users with admin access can add allowed email domains to accounts.
