How to Transfer Search Console Ownership from one google account to another!

Q. Can I transfer Google Search Console to another account?

A. Yes you Can, check below steps to transfer Google Search Console to another account.


To add another user as an owner

To add another user as a delegated owner:

If you are an owner, you can add delegated owners to the property. The delegated owner role has all owner rights, but if a property loses all verified owners, the property will become inaccessible to everyone.

Browse to the user list page for your property (Settings > Users and permissions).

Click the menu option More next to any user name, then click Manage property owners. This will open Webmaster Central.

Select the Search Console property to add the new owner to.

 Click Add an owner and specify the user's email address.


To add another user as verified owner

To add another person as a verified owner, you must add their verification token to the property:

Ask the other user to start the verification flow to generate a personal token.

Have that user share their token with your or anyone else who can take the appropriate action to verify them as a property owner (for instance, for HTML file verification, have them give you their HTML file and then upload it for them to the website.).

** Owners (and all users) must have a Google Account


To delete an owner

The process for removing an owner depends on whether they're a verified owner or a delegated owner. Learn how to determine a user's ownership type.

To remove a verified owner:

You must first delete all tokens used to verify their ownership of the property. For example, the HTML verification file for HTML file upload, or the Google Analytics tracking code for the Analytics code verification method. See how to determine verification type for an owner.

See all the verification methods listed for that user. You must remove the verification token for each verification method listed. For instance, if "HTML Tag" is listed, you must remove the HTML <meta> tag for that person from the site. If "HTML File" is listed, you must remove the HTML verification file for that person from the site. See details about each verification method here. If you don't remove all verification tokens for a user, they will be reverified as an owner on any remaining tokens.

After removing the former owner's tokens from the site, open the Users and permissions page.

Click Unverify next to the owner's name to unverify the unwanted owner. The owner's verification token must be gone, or else the unverify request will fail. (Even if you don't unverify ownership using the Users and permissions page, Search Console will eventually notice the removed token, and that owner will then lose access to the Search Console property.)
