What are the permission levels in Google Search Console?

GSC roles: Owner (full access including user management, can verify and revoke ownership), Full User (see all data, take actions in GSC, but cannot add/remove owners), Restricted User (view most reports but cannot use some features like URL Inspection or submit to index).

Can I give an agency access to Search Console without sharing my login?

Yes. Use the user management feature in GSC to invite the agency using their own Gmail or Google Workspace account. They get their own access with the permission level you set. You can revoke it at any time without changing your own credentials.

How to remove a user from Google Search Console?

Go to Settings → Users and permissions → find the user → click the three dots → Remove access. For property owners (verified via HTML tag, DNS, or file), you'll need to remove the verification method to fully revoke their owner access.

What is the difference between delegated owners and verified owners in GSC?

A verified owner has completed a verification method (DNS record, HTML tag, etc.) for the property. A delegated owner was granted owner permissions by a verified owner without completing verification. Delegated owners have the same permissions but their access can be revoked by the verified owner.
