Google Play Console

GuidedYou accept an invitation, then confirm it.

Your client invites your Google user to their developer account on Play Console’s own screen, with our steps beside it: Users and permissions, then Invite new users. Play Console has permissions, not roles, so each level names the permissions to tick. The invitation expires after 30 days and can be accepted only with the exact address that was invited.

Start free

In preview: sign-up is by invitation, and until Meta and Google approve the app, it works with simulated and test accounts only.

The steps your client gets for Play Console, in the box. Example data.

What you can ask for

You pick one level when you create the link. Each is shown with Google’s own name for it.

  • ViewView app information (read-only)Read-only access to app information, without financial data. Cannot change anything. A new link starts here.
  • StandardManage store presence, Reply to reviewsView app information, Manage store presence and Reply to reviews. Cannot release apps or manage users.
  • AdminAccount adminFull access to the developer account, including the permissions of all other users. Needs a verified agency.

What you give us once

Google user. A Google user: the email address of the Google Account that receives access. It is filled in with the Google account you connected, if you connected one.

What your client needs

The box tells your client before they start: “You need to be the account owner or an admin in Play Console.”

If the person who opens the link is not that person, the same link works for whoever is.

The box asks your client:

  • Developer account ID (optional). The long number in the address of a Play Console page. You can paste the whole address.

When it counts as given

Nothing can read Google for you, so your client’s “done” alone never finishes the link. You confirm it on the client’s page once you can see the access, and the dashboard says Confirmed by your team with the date.

Google sends you an invitation. You accept it, then confirm on the client’s page.

The invitation expires 30 days after your client sent it.

Removing the access later

The access is given on Google, so it is removed there. Your client does this:

  1. Sign in to Play Console and click Users and permissions in the main menu.
  2. Click the agency’s row in the table, then Remove user on the User details page.

What to check on every platform when an agency leaves is in How to remove an old agency's access to your Meta and Google accounts.

Questions

Which permissions does each level ask for?

View is View app information (read-only). Standard adds Manage store presence and Reply to reviews. Admin is the account admin switch, and only a verified agency can ask for it.

Can access be limited to some apps?

Yes. The steps tell your client to use App permissions instead of Account permissions to share only some apps.

I accepted with another Google account and it did not work. Why?

Play Console accepts an invitation only with the exact address that was invited. Sign in with the Google user on the link and accept again.
