Granting access to your Google Ads account can be done in two main ways, depending on whether you want to give access to a specific user or if you need to provide access to an agency managing multiple accounts through a Manager Account (MCC). Below are step-by-step instructions for both methods.
1. Granting Access to a Specific User
Login to Your Google Ads Account: Click the Admin icon on the bottom left of the option menu
Navigate to Access and Security: Click on the "Access and Security" option in the admin menu.
Add a New User: Click the blue plus button (+) to add a new user.
Enter User Details:
- Enter the email address of the person you want to invite.
- Select the appropriate account access level (e.g., Admin, Standard, Read Only).
- Click "Send invitation.
Handle Domain Restrictions (if applicable): If you encounter an error related to the email’s domain, an extra step is required:
- Navigate to the "Security" settings.
- Have an Admin on the account allow the desired email domain.
- Save the changes by pressing "Save" at the bottom right corner.
Invitation Sent: The invitee will receive an email invitation to access your Google Ads account.
2. Granting Access to a Google Ads Manager Account (MCC)
Identify Your CID Number: Find your 10-digit Customer ID (CID) number in the top right corner of your Google Ads account, next to your profile icon.
Provide Your CID to the Agency: Share your CID number with the agency managing your account.
Approve the Linking Request: Once the agency requests access, navigate to "Access & Security” and go to managers. Approve the linking request from the agency.
