Control who uses Google Business Profile Manager

 

If you're an administrator of Google accounts for an organization, you can control who uses Google Business Profile Manager from their account. Just turn Google Business Profile Manager on or off for those people in your Admin console.

If you turn off Google Business Profile Manager, your users are still able to access Business Profile via Google Maps and Google Search, unless those services are also turned off.

Control who uses Google Business Profile Manager in your organization

 

Before you begin: 

To turn a service on or off for certain users, put their accounts in an organizational unit (to control access by department) or add them to an access group (to allow access for users across or within departments).

  1. Sign in to your Google Admin console.

    Sign in using an administrator account, not your current account. 

  2. In the Admin console, go to Menu > Apps > Additional Google services.

  3. Click Google Business Profile Manager.

  4. Click Service status.

  5. To turn a service on or off for everyone in your organization, click On for everyone or Off for everyone, and then click Save.

  6. (Optional) To turn a service on or off for an organizational unit:

    1. At the left, select the organizational unit.

    2. To change the Service status, select On or Off.

    3. Choose one:

      • If the Service status is set to Inherited and you want to keep the updated setting, even if the parent setting changes, click Override.

      • If the Service status is set to Overridden, either click Inherit to revert to the same setting as its parent, or click Save to keep the new setting, even if the parent setting changes.
        Note: Learn more about organizational structure.

  7. To turn on a service for a set of users across or within organizational units, select an access group. For details, go to Use groups to customize service access.
