Control access to your account

You can use the Merchant Accounts API to control who has access to your merchant account, and which access level they have.

View, add, and remove users

A User is someone who has access to your merchant account. You can use the Merchant Accounts API to view, add, and remove users from your account.

• To view all the users with access to your account, call accounts.v1beta.accounts.users.list.

• To add a user, call accounts.v1beta.accounts.users.create and specify their access level in the access_rights field of the User.

  Note: This request sends an invitation to the Google Account associated with the new user, which has to be accepted for the user to be considered a member of your account.

• To change a user's access level, call accounts.v1beta.accounts.users.patch with the new access level.

• To remove a user from your account, make a request using the accounts.v1beta.accounts.users.delete method.

Comparison between super admin, admin, and standard access

Users with super admin access to Business Manager can't be removed from Merchant Center. For more information about super admin access, see Manage your business as a super admin.

Some methods, like methods that write account data, require admin access. To learn the required access level for each method, see the reference documentation.

If no access level is specified, you can use the method with standard access.
