Google updates user management and rights in Google Search Console



Google announced some important changes to how user management and rights work within the Google Search Console. Here are the important changes happening now and in the near future:
  1. All users, no matter if they only have the lowest level of permissions or the highest, will be able to see critical site messages.
  2. Google added better history tracking to show which individual performed which significant property-affecting modifications. These modifications include changes such as changing a setting, validating an issue or submitting a new sitemap.
  3. The new Search Console enables you to share a read-only view of many reports, including Index coverage, AMP, and Mobile Usability.
  4. A new user management interface enables all users to see and manage (if they have rights to do so) user roles for all property users.
  5. A simpler permission model where Google will limit the “restricted” user role to read-only status.
  6. Read-only users will no longer be able to perform any state-changing actions, including starting a fix validation or sharing an issue.
Google has not yet rolled out all the permission changes, specifically the updated user management that enables “the ability of restricted and full users to easily see a list of other collaborators on the site,” Google said.

Google Speed Update is now being released to all users

Google has updated its original blog post around the Speed Update saying this is now “rolling out for all users.” Google this morning has begun incorporating the new Speed Update algorithm in the mobile search results as a search ranking factor. We posted detailed FAQs on new Google Speed Update a while back explaining some of the more common questions around the speed update. And as we clarified last week, this update only impacts the slowest of sites on the internet. Google’s original announcement said this will “only affect a small percentage of queries.” One of the more common questions we hear is how we know if Google considers our web pages to be fast or not.
