Users and permissions #

Manage access control for your containers.

 

If a team member who is the sole administrator of your Tag Manager account changes roles, you can get locked out of your account. Plan ahead for how account ownership will be handled if a member of your team change roles, and ensure that there are at least two active administrator accounts. Learn more.

Google Tag Manager allows you to delegate access to other users at the Account and Container level. Users can be granted the ability to view or administer other users at the Account level, and can be granted read, edit, approve, or publish rights at the Container level.

You may only delegate access to Google accounts. These might be Gmail accounts, accounts managed through organizations using G Suite, or other accounts created at accounts.google.com.

Invitations #

If a Tag Manager administrator has added a user to a Tag Manager account, that user will receive an invitation to access the account. The user will be notified via email, and an Invitations card will appear on Tag Manager’s Accounts screen. Click the Invitations card to view the list of invitations. Expand an invitation entry to view the details of the invitation. Click Accept to accept the invitation, or Reject to cancel the invitation.

 

Account permissions #

Account permissions at the account level can be set to either Admin or User. You may also fine-tune permissions for specific containers on the Container Permissions table.

Container permissions #

Access can be assigned on a per-container basis. For a given container, a user may be assigned:

            No access: The user will not see the container listed in the account.

           Read: The user will see the container listed and may browse the tags, triggers, and variables in the container, but will not have the ability to make any changes.

         Edit: The user has rights to create workspaces and make edits but not create versions or publish.

        Approve: The user has rights to create versions, workspaces, and make edits but not publish.

        Publish: The user has full rights to create versions, workspaces, make edits, and publish.

 

Users managed by the Google Marketing Platform #

This feature is only available in Google Tag Manager 360, which is included in the Google Marketing Platform.

 

 

Google Marketing Platform includes a centralized user management system for Google Analytics, Tag Manager, and Optimize accounts. You can assign user group permissions for an organization and for individual product accounts within the organization.

In the Google Marketing Platform, members of a user group will inherit that group’s permissions. For Google Marketing Platform accounts that use Google Tag Manager:

Users with the Admin permission at the account level inherit Read permission for all containers in that account, and can assign themselves additional permissions as necessary.

   Users who have User permission at the account level do not inherit any container permissions. Permissions must be assigned by an Admin for each container.
