Deleting users and user groups does not delete personally identifiable information (PII). Learn more than about deleting data.

You can add users at the account, belongings, or view level. The level at which you add a user determines that user'south initial access. For instance, if you lot add a user at the business relationship level, then that user also has access to all the properties and views in the account, with the same set of permissions. If you add a user at the view level, then the user has admission to only that view with the permissions you provide. You can modify the level of access and permissions for a user at whatsoever time. (Learn more about permissions.)

Users are identified by their email addresses. You tin add only users whose email addresses are registered in Google accounts.

To add or modify users, you must have the Administrator role at the business relationship, belongings, or view level. You can add or change users at each level for which you lot have permission.

To delete users, you must have Administrator role at the account level. You can delete users but at the account level. Any user with permission can delete any other user. As a prophylactic measure, if y'all are the last user who has the Administrator role, you cannot delete yourself.
