Add and edit users

Users are people who can view or manage orders, line items, and other items in your Ad Manager network.

Each Ad Manager user must have a Google Account. If the person you add already uses a Google product, such as Gmail or Google Ads, they already have a Google Account.

Permissions required

The "Edit users, roles, and teams" user role permission is required to add or edit users. The "Ad Exchange" permission is required to add and edit users with Ad Exchange permissions.

Google account ID can’t be changed

Multiple email logins can be associated with a Google account ID but the Google account ID can’t be changed.

The user can use any of their email logins to access their account. The last email used to log in appears in the UI associated with the user.

• Accepted invitations: An invitation can only be accepted once.
• Invitation expiration dates: Invitations to expire in about a month. If the recipient fails to accept in time, the user is deleted. Create the user again to send a new invitation.

Cancel invitations

You must cancel invitations before a user accepts. If you don't, you can deactivate users.

1. Sign in to Google Ad Manager.
2. Navigate to Admin  Access & authorization  Users.
3. Find the user whose invitation you want to cancel.
4. Click the name of the user to go into the user's details.

Deactivate users

When you deactivate a user, access to Ad Manager is removed and the user's scheduled reports stop delivering. Any recipients of these scheduled reports are automatically notified by email that report delivery has ended.
