Pro tips

  • Share only required assets - least privilege.
  • Never transfer ownership - use Partner sharing.
  • Audit partners quarterly.

Common mistakes

  • Transferring ownership and losing control.
  • Adding agency staff as personal users instead of partner.
  • Sharing the pixel but not the domain - breaks tracking.
