If you are a site owner (because you added a site to your Webmaster Tools account and verified your ownership of it), you can add additional users or owners to that site. You have the following options:

  • Site owner: Owners have complete control over their sites. They can view all site data, and perform all site actions. New owners are added on the Site verification page. Once you've added a new owner, that owner will need to add your site to their Webmaster Tools account. Add an owner to a site.
  • Full user: Full users can view all data, and take most site actions, but cannot add or remove users or owners. Add a user to a site.
  • Restricted user: Restricted users can view most data, and take some actions. Add a user to a site.

The table below describes the features available to each level of user.
