Why Provide Tag Manager Account Access?
Google Tag Manager is a tag management system that allows website owners, developers, SEO specialists, and advertising professionals to setup tracking and measurement of various events such as goal completions and conversions on a website. These tags can then be further consolidated or implemented across other platforms such as Google Analytics and Google Ads.
Providing another user or digital marketing agency account access still provides you absolute control over your account. It does not diminish your own capabilities within the system in any way. Sensitive information, such as your login credentials, or credit cards will not be visible to your agency or account manager even if they are allowed access to your account.
You can also remove or revoke a user or agency’s access from your account at any time.
