Ownership and visibility

Items and bulk actions in Search Ads 360 have owners. By default, the owner is the manager account or sub-manager account that you're signed into when you create the item.

Ownership affects when the item is editable or even visible:

  • Items owned by a manager account are only visible when signed into that manager account. The items can be applied in sub-manager accounts and client accounts under the manager account.
  • Items owned by a sub-manager account can be viewed when signed into that sub-manager account or the manager account above it. The item can only be applied in the sub-manager account or in client accounts below it.
