How can Multiple users Manage a Single Adsense Account?

Google AdSense is the leading and most popular ad service that bloggers make use of. It can be used with any Blogger or self-hosted blog or website, and is indeed a major source of income for most bloggers. Previously, Google AdSense could only be accessed by one account, which cause problems for blogs that are run by more than one person, because revenue-sharing is a critical issue. To achieve that end, Google has just released multiple accounts integration with Google AdSense. Now, you can share your AdSense account with your friends, family, or business partners. You can use access levels to control who gets what sort of authority in your AdSense account. In this post, we'll talk about how you can send invites, and give multiple access levels to people.

What can others access in your account?

You will have to send an invite to someone if you want to grant them access to your account. You can grant users with either of the two access levels, Standard or Administrator. Both these users can view, edit, or manage any part of that account. But here are the differences.

• Standard users can't see a list of users who have access to that account while Administrators can.
• Administrators can give out account access and change a user's access level, but standard users can not.

Invite others to your account

To invite a user to your account, simply sign into your AdSense account and then under your Home tab, open up Account Settings from the left panel.

Go to Access and authorization, and fill in email addresses in the Users with sign in access section. Now simply click on Invite. The user will be added with status pending until they accept your invite.

This Users with sign in access section will list all the users that have access to your account.

Remember: For someone to to able to access your account, they need to have a Google Account. Furthermore, people who already have Google AdSense accounts of their own can't access other accounts.

Change or revoke access to your account

To stop someone from accessing your account, simply go to Access and authorization in your Account Settings. In the Users with sign in access section, you will see a cross (x) button next to each user. Clicking on this cross will result in the user's removal. That user will be notified of this change via email, so no secret here :)

Also from the same section, you can change access level for any user. By default, all users are Standard, with the Administrator box unchecked. Checking this box for a user will provide them Administrator privileges, while unchecking this box will reduce their privileges.

Why we needed this feature?

Not every blog or website is run by a single person. This created a problem for all the share holders. Either one of them had to sign up for Google AdSense through his own Google Account, or they'd have to create a new universal Google Account. In the first case, the person with the AdSense account compromises his privacy, while in the other case, the account loses integration to other Google services that the blog owners might have previously signed up for (such as Google Plus). This new feature solves the problems I am sure many co-founders must have been facing.

Google has been pretty active recently. It recently introduced features for merging two Google+ accounts together, and also connecting Blogger accounts with Google+. And now, there's this. It is good to see Google busy. And hopefully, we'll soon see more such integration options for other services. So stay tuned for more such updates! Good day! :)
