Give super admin access

Super admins hold the highest access to the connected apps and can manage apps, people, and their access to apps for your business. If you sign up for Business Manager with your Google Account, you automatically gain super admin access to the Business Manager profile. In the People and access tab, you can also designate other people in your business as super admins. Learn how to Manage your business as a super admin.

As a super admin, you can add or remove:

  • Another super admin
  • Admins and other people with access to apps
