Is there a limit to the number of administrators or managers I can add to my account?

No. There's no limit to the number of administrators or managers you can add, but you can't merge or combine your account with another AdMob account.

I received an invite, but I want to use a different Google Account login than the one where I received the email.

Contact the administrator who sent the invite and ask them to send a new invite to the address you want to use instead.

I don’t want to add another user, but I want to change my login.

There are two ways you can do this:

Edit your Google Account
You can change your email address/login by editing the Google Account you use to access AdMob. This is only available for non-Gmail addresses and affects all of the products that are linked to your Google Account.
Associate a different Google Account as your login
If you have administrator permissions, you can invite a new administrator, log in as the new administrator and then remove your original Google Account login.

Who gets notified when something changes?

Administrators and the affected user are sent email notifications whenever a user is added, removed or has their user role changed.

What does the status "Pending invite" mean?

"Pending invite" means that the user hasn’t accepted their invitation by clicking the link in the email yet. Users have 20 days to accept an invitation before it expires.

I’ve been removed from my account. What should I do?

Contact the account administrator directly. Note that Google AdMob is unable to mediate access disputes between users.

If I have both AdSense and AdMob, where should I manage my users?

If your AdMob and AdSense accounts are linked, you can make the changes in either account and the change will apply to both your AdMob and AdSense account.

Note: If your Publisher ID is the same for AdSense and AdMob, then it means that your accounts are linked. Learn how to find your Publisher ID for AdSense or AdMob.

The same level of access to AdSense will be granted to the user you’re adding to AdMob. For example, if you add a user to your AdMob account as an administrator, they will also be an administrator in AdSense.

Also note that the manager role is the same as standard user access in AdSense.
