What's your Ownership Access capabilities when it comes to editing business info?

There are actually 3 types of access levels on a GMB listing. These access levels depends on your need to perform expected job duties.

Primary Owner: The primary owner is the first person to create, claim or verify a listing. The primary owner has the ability to remove other owners but they cannot remove themselves from a listing until they transfer primary ownership to another user.

Owners: Listings can have multiple owners. Owners have full access to edit the details of a business. They also have the ability to remove the listing. They can add other users to share management of a listing without having to share their password, and also remove any user freely.

Manager: Managers have the same permissions as owners, but they don't have the capability of managing users and removing listings.

 

Here's a chart to further explain the capabilities of each user:
