# Authorise an additional user to your Google Play developer account

An additional authorised user can be helpful if:

\- Your main Google Play developer account has access to multiple developer teams.\
\- You don't feel comfortable sharing your main Google Play developer credentials in our system.\
\- You're having trouble validating your Google Play developer credentials in our system.

Authorising a new user to your existing Google Play developer account is free. After completing the steps in this document you will have a new (additional) Google account which can be used to access your existing Google Play developer console.<br>

**How to add an additional user to your Google Play developer account.**

1. Logout of all Google services.
2. Navigate to [https://gmail.com](https://gmail.com/) and register a new Gmail account. (e.g.: <YourAppName-app@gmail.com>)
3. During the account registration, you'll be asked to add login verification to the account. Make sure to only add a recovery phone number here. ***Do not turn on two-step login verification.***
4. After successfully registering a new Gmail account, logout of Google.
5. Navigate to <https://play.google.com/apps/publish/> and login with your existing Google Play developer account.\
   \&#xNAN;***Note: If you're asked to register as a Google Play developer, please restart from step 3.***
6. After logging in to the Google Play developer console, go to Settings -> Users & permissions.
7. Click the "Invite new user" button in the top-right corner of the screen.<br>
