Secure your Search Ads 360 account: Allowed Email Domains

What are “Allowed Email Domains” or “Allowed Domains”?

“Allowed Email Domains” or “Allowed Domains” is an option in your security settings that enables you to control which email domains can be added to your Google Ads account.

Allowed Domains can ensure that users from outside your organization don’t get invited to access your Search Ads 360 account. For instance, if you set “example.com” as the allowed email domain for your account, you'll only be able to invite [email protected] to the account, but not [email protected]. Note that only users with admin access can add allowed email domains to accounts.

The Allowed Domain feature strengthens the account security by restricting user invitation emails to pre-approved domains. It also simplifies managing large multi-layered account structures.

Access levels and domain management:

• Managers: Can define a list of pre-approved email domains for user invitations. They can choose to apply this restriction to:
  • All downstream accounts they oversee.
  • Specific downstream accounts.
• Sub-managers and Associate Managers: Can only invite users with email addresses from the domains allowed by their manager.
• Existing users: Existing user emails remain unaffected.
