Manage user role membership
Administrator user role required
Requires permission
The ability to view and edit user role permission in Google Ad Manager is only available to users with a user role that includes the Edit users, roles, and teams permission. The "Administrator" user role includes this by default, but it's possible for a custom role to also include this permission.
If you aren't an administrator, you can learn more about this role and what to do next.
Assign users to a user role, including Admin
When you create a new user, you are prompted to assign them a role on the user creation page. To assign or change a user's role, including granting Admin access:
- Sign in to Google Ad Manager.
- Click Admin, then Access & authorization, and then Users.
- (Optional) To search for an existing user, click Search and enter your search terms, or click Add new filter and apply a filter. You can also see a list of existing users and their current roles here, which can help you identify current Admins.
- Under "Name," click the name of the user you want to edit.
- Under "Role," select the desired role (for example, "Administrator") from the menu.
- Click Save.
