Invite users to
your account

How to send an invite from your Apple
Search Ads account

  1. Click your name in the upper-right corner to access your Account Settings.
  2. Navigate to the User Management tab.
  3. Click Invite User.
  4. Provide the name and Apple ID of the person you want to share your account with.
  5. Specify the access by granting the user a role to the whole account or on one or more campaign groups.

Invitees will receive an email explaining they’ve been invited to an Apple Search Ads account. To accept the invitation, they’ll have to sign in with the same Apple ID that the invite was sent to.

The User Management tab in your account will list all of the users you’ve invited to your account — even if their acceptance is pending. To search for a specific user within the list, enter their Apple ID or the name associated with their Apple ID into the search field in the middle of the page.

Understand user roles

Each role governs what a user can see or do in the account:

  • Account Admin: View reporting, manage all campaigns or app promotions across the account, access account settings, manage users, manage billing, and download API certificates
  • Account Finance: Manage billing and access account settings
