Account User Management

Account user management grants access to all containers within the Google Tag Manager account. This level has two account permissions, Admin and User.

Admin

An admin can edit account settings and add or edit users.

User

A user can see all settings of the account but cannot edit them.

Container User Management

Container user management grants access to a specific container within the Google Tag Manager account. For a given container, you can also be assigned different permissions.

No access

The user will not see the container listed in the account.

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 the right to create workspaces and make edits but not create versions or publish.

Approve

The user has the 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.
