Add developer account users and manage permissions

When users are invited to access Play Console, they must sign in with a Google Account using the same email address that the admin or Play Console account owner invited. Users can create a Google Account using a new Gmail address (@gmail.com) or with an existing email address, such as a company email address.

If an invited user needs to access Play Console with a different email address, they need to contact the admin and ask them to resend an invitation to their preferred email address.

If a user doesn't accept an invitation and sign in within 30 days, the invitation will expire and the admin will need to resend an invitation.

After you send an invitation, the user's email address will be listed with the status 'Invitation sent'. If the user’s access has an access expiry date, it will be included in their invitation. When the user accepts the invitation, the account owner will get a confirmation email and the user’s status will change to 'Active'.

If you're the account owner, take the following steps to update users’ access expiry dates:

1. Open Play Console (Users and permissions > Manage users).
2. Select users to extend access expiry from the drop-down menu.
3. In the table, select the users whose access you want to extend and click Extend access.
4. Choose how long you want to extend access for and click Extend access.
5. Select Confirm to save your changes.
