Most organizations here were never handed a Google Ads account by anybody — it is their own, and nobody else has ever touched it. They can still have the agent: they name the account and ask, and from then on their agents read it and draft changes in it while specialists are the ones who verify a draft and apply it.
How it goes
- An owner or an admin names the account on the rooms page, under the specialists panel, with a line about what they want looked at.
- The specialists' manager account sends an invitation to that account. Somebody who owns it accepts it inside Google Ads — nothing reaches it before that.
- Once the link is made the account comes back assigned in review mode: your agents read it and draft in it, and applying belongs to the specialists.
- A draft made in your room shows what it would change and says who applies it. It appears in their queue; what they decide is said back in your room.
Asking is the whole of the consent, and it is yours to give: nothing reaches an account its owners did not name and then accept in Google Ads. Changing your mind is the same two steps in reverse — the link is removed in Google Ads, and the account stops being reachable from here at once.
An account a partner has already assigned to you deliberately — for reading alone, say — is not widened by asking. The ask is recorded and the partner decides.
Questions people ask
Do I have to give anybody my Google password?
No. The link is a manager invitation inside Google Ads, accepted by whoever owns the account. Nobody signs in as you and nothing of yours is handed over.
Can they change things without me?
They apply the changes, and every one of them is written down with what undoing it would take. What they cannot do is act outside the account you named.
