Search Console Account Access Already Granted
If while attempting to add a new connection you receive a notice indicating that "Access to this account has already been granted", it means that the Search Console account has already been authorized for connection to Rank Ranger. This can mean that:
You can resolve this by following these steps:
If while attempting to add a new connection you receive a notice indicating that "Access to this account has already been granted", it means that the Search Console account has already been authorized for connection to Rank Ranger. This can mean that:
- in your Authorized Connections screen, there are multiple Search Console connections and one of them is for the account you're trying to connect
- a different Rank Ranger account is already connected to that Search Console account (e.g., your company has/had additional Rank Ranger accounts)
- another user has authorized access to the Search Console account and has connected it to their Rank Ranger account.
You can resolve this by following these steps:
- Log out of Rank Ranger
- Log in to the Google Search Console account that you're trying to connect to Rank Ranger
- Click this Google Authorized Access Verification link to verify whether or not that account already has been authorized for Rank Ranger
Note: there are two types of authorizations regarding Google, Search Console, and Analytics, and they will display separately.
- If it displays Google Search Console access to Rank Ranger, then there is a different Rank Ranger account already using it. In this case, we may need your help in determining who else has Owner or Full access to that Search Console account, in order for us to identify which Rank Ranger account it is (e.g., perhaps another company was granted access in the past for the websites in the account).
- If it does not display a connection to Rank Ranger, then the next step is to verify that the email address you used to log into Search Console has been assigned Owner permissions.
After connecting a Search Console account to a Campaign (General Settings > Search Console), if you receive a notice indicating that "You have no sites on Search Console", then:
- the campaign may be connected to an expired Webmaster Tools account, in which case you need to connect to a valid Search Console account (Account Settings > Authorized Connections)
- the Search Console account that was connected does not contain URLs, in which case you should log into the Search Console account for the domain you are trying to connect and confirm that the correct account was set up in Account Settings.
Manage Property
Google requires that connections "must be authorized by an authenticated user who has access to that data". If the email address that you used to log into Search Console has Owner (or possibly Full) permissions, then you will see a Manage Property button beside each website. Select the Add or remove users option.

Does HTTPS Migration Affect Search Console Settings?
When you migrate your site from HTTP to HTTPS you will need to change your Search Console settings to the https version because Google considers each version of the website (i.e., http://domain.com, http://www.domain.com, https://domain.com, etc.) as separate properties. After Google has completed their crawl of the HTTPS, Search Console will stop providing data for the HTTP version and so you will need to disconnect the old HTTP and connect the HTTPS in our Campaign Settings > Webmaster Tools screen for each campaign that is changed.
Update Search Console Settings
After Google completes their crawl of the HTTPS version of the website, open the campaign settings > webmaster tools screen and click the Disconnect button next to the website address.
Then select the HTTPS property and click the Connect button.

Search Console Archived Data
If you have enabled the Historical Data Storage option prior to changing to HTTPS, that archived Search Console data will remain intact and begin fresh for the new version of the site.
