Add developer account users and manage permissions

There are three different access levels in Play Console: account owner, admins, and users. Your access level determines what actions you can perform and what information you can access in Play Console. As an admin (administrator), user management allows you to safely control which parts of Play Console your wider team can see based on their roles, what data they have access to, and the settings they can change.

Account access levels

  • First registered account in Play Console
  • Has full access to Play Console

Give users access

Step 1: Decide whether your user needs account or app access

Before you set up permissions, you need to decide if your user needs access at account level or at app level:

  • Account: Account permissions apply to all apps in your developer account.
  • App: App permissions only apply to the selected app.

Some permissions are exclusively available to app or account level users only. For details on how account and app access might impact a specific permission differently, you can check the permission definitions and uses section.

Step 2: Add users and turn permissions on or off

If you're an account owner or admin, you can add users to your Play Console account and manage permissions across all apps or for specific apps. Before adding users and turning permissions on or off, review the permission definitions and uses section to ensure that you understand them.

  1. Open Play Console(Users and permissions > Invite new users).
  2. To manage permissions for an existing user, click anywhere on the user’s row in the user table.
  3. To add a new user, type the user’s email address and set an access expiry date if necessary. Make sure you have the Admin (all permissions) permission at account level.
    Note: Invited users can only sign in to Play Console using the same email address that you provided. Also, if you don't choose an access expiry date, the user will have ongoing access to your Play Console account or app indefinitely.
  4. Select the permissions you want to apply to specific apps using the App permissions tab. To select permissions to apply to all apps in your developer account, use the Account permissions tab.
    • To add an app to the permissions table, select Add app under the App permissions tab and then click Apply.
  5. Select Invite user.

Manage user access

Account requirements for invited users

When users are invited to access Play Console, they must sign in with a Google account using the same email address that the admin or Play Console account owner invited. Users can create a Google account using a new Gmail address (@gmail.com) or with an existing email address, such as a company email address.

If an invited user needs to access Play Console with a different email address, they need to contact the admin and ask them to resend an invitation to their preferred email address.

If a user doesn't accept an invitation and sign in within 30 days, the invitation will expire and the admin will need to resend an invitation.

View sent invitations

After you send an invitation, the user's email address will be listed with the status "Invite sent." If the user's access has an access expiration date, it will be included in their invitation. When the user accepts the invitation, the account owner will get a confirmation email and the user’s status will change to "Active."
