Understand super admin access

When a person gets super admin access, they are automatically added to apps & services connected to Business Manager as:

  • Admin to Google Merchant Center.
  • Admin to Google Ads.
  • Owner of the store's Google Business Profile.

Users with access to apps & services connected to the Business Manager can still go to Business Manager and view apps and stores linked to Business Manager and also check who the super admins are. With Business Manager, a super admin can share access across multiple apps at once.

In Apps, super admins can view apps & services connected to the business and add and delete connections. The "connection status" shows whether the connection is established successfully.

Tip: Super admins hold the highest level of access to connected apps. They can manage apps, people, and their access to apps for your business.
