People who own a business can invite other people to help manage it. Each person can have their own way to get into the business page. Owners and managers can do different things on the page.

• Only owners can update users
• Managers can remove themselves from a profile.
• Google Groups can’t be added as managers or owners.
• Only the primary owner can transfer primary ownership.

Add owners & managers

1. Go to your Business Profile. Learn how to find your profile.
2. Click Menu     Business Profile settings    People and access.
3. At the top left, click Add .
4. Enter a name or email address.
5. Under "Access", choose Owner or Manager.
6. Click Invite.

Tips:

• Invitees will have the option to accept the invitation and immediately become users. When they accept your invitation, you’ll get a notification email. Users in the account can find the names and email addresses of the owners and managers.
• You can find all active users and people who are invited to become users. To cancel pending invitations, click in the row.
• If you want to transfer ownership of your profile, you can learn how to transfer ownership of a profile.

New owners & managers

New owners and managers of a business profile have to wait 7 days before they can do everything. During these 7 days, they can't:

• Delete or undo a delete.
• Remove other owners or managers.
• Make themselves or someone else the primary owner.

If the new owner or manager deletes their account within the first 7 days, they'll be removed from the business page. If they change their mind, they'll need to be added again.

Tip: If an owner or manager tries to change who is in charge of the business page in their first 7 days, it won't work.

Remove owners & managers

2. Click Menu       Business Profile settings Managers.

If you can't click Remove , it could mean that:

• If you want to remove the main owner of a business page, you first need to make someone else the main owner. Then, you can remove the old owner. Learn how to transfer primary ownership.
