Why Share Access via Google Tag Manager?

  • Efficient Tag Management: We can implement and manage tags for analytics, marketing, and more, saving you time.
  • No Password Sharing: Sharing access keeps your account secure and eliminates the need for temporary credentials.

If you wish to stop sharing access:

  1. Go to “Manage Users” in the Admin panel.
