Why Owner Permissions Are Required
My URL Monitor requires 'Owner' level permissions in Google Search Console due to specific requirements set by Google for accessing certain APIs and performing critical indexing operations.
Google's Permission Requirements
Google Search Console has different permission levels that control access to various features and data:
- •Full-level permissions allow access to complete keyword data for a domain, but not to indexing and re-crawling requests
- •Indexing requests and re-crawling operations specifically require Owner permissions
- •These requirements are set by Google and cannot be overridden
Our Security Commitment
We understand that granting Owner permissions requires a high level of trust. Here's how we protect your data:
- •All access credentials are encrypted using industry-standard encryption methods
- •Credentials are only temporarily decrypted when executing specific actions on your behalf
- •We maintain strict security protocols to protect your sensitive data
- •Regular security audits ensure the safety of your information
Important Note
My URL Monitor only uses these permissions for the specific tasks you've authorized, such as monitoring indexing status and requesting indexing for your URLs. We never access or use these permissions for any other purposes.
