Moving Admin Permissions Directly to YouTube Creator Studio

Unlike the conventional method, you can cut out the need for a Google brand account altogether. Instead, move your permission-granting directly to YouTube Creator Studio.

4. Revoking Access Anytime

The beauty of this direct approach is not just in granting access; it’s also in your ability to revoke it whenever necessary. The process mirrors that of adding someone – simply adjust their permissions or delete them as a user from your channel.
