This launch takes us a<br \/>\n  step closer towards our goal of <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/introducing-the-new-search-console\/\">migrating<br \/>\n  functionality to Search Console<\/a>, ensuring our users have a better, faster, and modernized experience.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"new-user-management-features-in-search-console\" tabindex=\"-1\">New user management features in Search Console<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe functionalities added to Search Console&#8217;s user and permissions management include:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Distinguishing between verified and delegated owners<\/li>\n<li>Easier, immediate removal of verified owners (no need to remove their ownership token)<\/li>\n<li>Ability to change delegated owners&#8217; permissions levels (owner, full, restricted)<\/li>\n<li>Ability to see your property&#8217;s verification tokens for all current and previous users and specifically<br \/>\n  see tokens leftover by previous owners<\/li>\n<li>Ownership events history<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"best-practices\" tabindex=\"-1\">Best practices<\/h2>\n<p>\nAs a reminder, here are some best practices for managing user permissions in Search Console.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFirst, grant users only the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/answer\/7687615#permissions\" class=\"external-link\">permission<br \/>\n  level<\/a> that they need to do their work. You can change permission levels for non-verified owners<br \/>\n  with the <b>More actions<\/b> menu. Make sure to revoke or change permission levels from users<br \/>\n  who no longer work on a property, and regularly audit and update permissions through the<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/search.google.com\/search-console\/users\" class=\"external-link\">users and permissions<\/a> page in Search Console.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kb-gorsel\/g-71a116f16a32.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Search Console users and permissions settings page\">\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWhen removing a previously verified owner, be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/answer\/7687615#manage-users\" class=\"external-link\">remove<br \/>\n  all verification tokens for that user<\/a>. This is one of the updates we&#8217;re rolling out today, you<br \/>\n  can now review the leftover ownership tokens so that removed owners cannot regain access to the property.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kb-gorsel\/g-ca2d0daa2c40.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Search Console settings page showing leftover ownership tokens\"><\/p>\n<p>\nRemember that if you just want to share a specific Search Console report on a one-off basis, you can always<br \/>\n  click <b>Share link<\/b> on that page instead of adding users to Search Console.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWe will be sunsetting the standalone Webmaster Central verification tool in the coming months. As always,<br \/>\n  we love to hear feedback from our users. You can use the feedback form within Search Console or the<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/go\/community\" class=\"external-link\">help forums<\/a><br \/>\n  to ask questions or submit feedback.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"byline-author\">\nPosted by <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/blog\/authors\/nir-kalush\">Nir Kalush<\/a>, Product Manager and Itai Raz, Software Engineer, Search Console team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post discusses an update to Search Console&#8217;s user and permissions to incorporate functionality related to ownership and user management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"menu_order":80590,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"ar_kb_kategori":[665],"ar_kb_etiket":[],"class_list":["post-25263","ar_kb","type-ar_kb","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ar_kb_kategori-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ar_kb\/25263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ar_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ar_kb"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ar_kb\/25263\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"ar_kb_kategori","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ar_kb_kategori?post=25263"},{"taxonomy":"ar_kb_etiket","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ar_kb_etiket?post=25263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
