Manage payments users in your AdSense account

Business account admins can add payments users and set their permissions and email preferences. #businessaccount #paymentsprofile

If you're registered as a business, you can add other people to a payments profile. For each person that you add, you decide whether or not they can invite other users, buy or sign up for paid Google services, view your payment history or make changes to the profile.

Your AdSense account users and Payments users might be different, so a new AdSense admin might not have full access to your account's payments profile. If your AdSense account user and payments user are different, you might not be able to make changes to your account's payments profile, payment method or any other payment details.

Note: This feature is not available for individual accounts.
