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.

Required permissions:

• 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.

About notification settings
If you're in Austria, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, Norway, or Switzerland, you must confirm the following notification settings via an email you'll receive after turning them on:

• "Optimization tips, best practices and other relevant information"
• "Be invited to opportunities to share feedback and participate in market research to help improve Ad Manager"

The teams feature is not available to all networks. Contact your account manager to find out more.

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 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.

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

1. Sign in to Google Ad Manager.
