Open Google Search Console and select the property you want to share. Click the Settings icon in the left sidebar, then Users and permissions. Hit the Add user button in the top right, enter the recipient's Google account email, and pick a permission level. Full gives complete control including adding other users and submitting sitemaps. Restricted allows viewing data but no changes. Click Add and the user receives instant access without a confirmation email. If you're giving access to an agency like Ottawa SEO, use Full permission so we can submit sitemaps, request indexing, fix manual actions, and set up integrations. If you're onboarding a content writer or junior marketer who only needs to see reports, Restricted works fine. You can't grant access to individual reports or URL sets—it's all or nothing per property. For domain properties (protocol-agnostic like example.com rather than https://example.com), you need to verify ownership through DNS first. The same permission levels apply but the verification barrier keeps domain-level access tighter. If someone already has access to your URL-prefix property, that doesn't cascade to the domain property—you grant them separately. Common mistakes: giving the wrong email (it must be a Google account), selecting the wrong property if you manage multiple sites, or forgetting that removed users lose access immediately with no grace period. We've seen clients accidentally lock themselves out by removing the only Full user, so always keep at least two Full users on the account. At Ottawa SEO we maintain a shared team login as backup on our 500-property portfolio specifically to avoid this. If you need to share data but don't want to grant dashboard access, export reports to Google Sheets or PDF and share those instead. Search Console also integrates with Google Analytics 4 and Looker Studio if you want consolidated reporting without handing out Console credentials to every stakeholder.
