If your web developer needs access to your Google Search Console, don't give them your Google account login. Best practice is to give them access to Google Search Console using their Google account.
Charly walks through the settings so you can:
✅ Add a team member using their own Google account.
➡️ Choose the permissions they need without handing over ownership.
⚡ Change or remove access if their role changes or they leave.
