Google Maps: User Admin

In rare cases, we may ask you to grant us access to your Google Maps Platform property. Each team at Yoast has a shared Google account so a team member must provide you with the email address for their team. Please remember to remove our access once your question has been answered.

Permission Levels

Google has different account roles so you can give different permission levels to each user. We ask for ‘Viewer’ access because it allows us to see your settings but we cannot make changes. If you would like us to make changes on your behalf, please change the role to ‘Editor’.
