Owners of Business Profiles can invite additional users to become owners and managers. Each person can have their own access without sharing sign-in information. Owners, managers, and site managers all have different levels of access to the profile.
Only owners can add or remove users. But managers can remove themselves from a profile. Google Groups can’t be added as managers or owners.
How it works
There are 3 types of Google My Business users: Owners, managers, and site managers.
- Owners: Each profile can have multiple owners, but only one primary owner. Owners and primary owners have the same capabilities, but a primary owner can’t remove themselves from a profile until they transfer their primary ownership to another user.
- Managers: Managers have most of the capabilities of an owner, but don’t have the more sensitive capabilities, like removing the profile or managing users.
- Site managers: Site managers have most of the capabilities of a manager, but can’t edit all business information. A site manager can request to upgrade to a manager or owner of a verified listing. The owner can approve or deny the request.
To see a summary of the different capabilities of each type of user, view the chart below:

- If you have multiple locations, open the location you’d like to manage.
- On the left, click Users.
- Next to the person you’d like to remove, click Remove .
If you can’t click Remove

- You’re trying to remove the primary owner from the profile. Transfer primary ownership to someone else, then remove the user from the profile.
- You’re signed in as a manager. Only owners can remove other owners and managers.
When a user is removed, they’re notified through email. They will no longer be able to edit business information or take any administrative actions for the profile. But all their past responses to reviews, posts, comments, and other actions will remain.
