Agencies
Agencies onboarding new clients use Access29 to replace per-platform instructions with one request per client, and save the platform and permission sets they use most as reusable templates.

Client access management for agencies and the clients they work with
Access29 is a client access management app built by Around29. It turns client access management for agencies into one link per request: you choose the client, platforms and permission levels in a five-step wizard, and your client opens the link to grant access to your agency’s own accounts on seven Google platforms.
No shared logins · Permission levels you choose · Elevated access is opt-in
The problem
Why does getting client access take so long?
Because access is often still collected by hand. Someone writes instructions, the client tries to follow them on a platform they rarely open, and a step gets missed: the wrong account, the wrong permission level, or nothing at all until the next follow-up email.
None of that is the client’s fault. Platform permission screens can be confusing, especially on a platform you rarely open. The problem is the process, and that is the part Access29 replaces with a single, structured request.
Definition
What is Access29? Client access management for agencies
Client access management is the process of requesting, granting and keeping track of the access an agency needs to its clients’ marketing platforms. Access29 gives that process one place to live: your agency defines which of its accounts should receive access, builds a request for each client, and follows each request through to a granted connection.
Access29 is built around each platform’s own access-sharing features — your agency is added as a user, manager account or partner — rather than shared logins. Clients grant access to your agency’s accounts; they don’t hand over their own login.
Process
How does Access29 work?
It works in three stages, from setup to granted access. The full step-by-step process covers each one in detail.
-
Set up an access profile
Add the agency accounts that will receive access: your Google account email and your Google Ads manager account (MCC).
-
Build the request in the five-step wizard
Work through Client, Platforms, Permissions, Experience and Review. The wizard produces one link for the request.
-
Your client opens the link and grants access
Access goes to the accounts in your access profile, and Access29 records a connection for each platform the client grants.
Product
What does Access29 include?
Access29 is organized around a small set of objects your team works with every day.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Access profiles | Hold the agency accounts that receive access: a Google account email, a Google Ads manager account (MCC) and a Meta Business Manager. A profile receives access only on platforms whose field is filled in. |
| Access requests | A five-step wizard (Client → Platforms → Permissions → Experience → Review) that produces one link per request. |
| Permission levels | Every permission is tagged Read-only, Manage or Elevated. Defaults are pre-selected, and Elevated permissions are opt-in. |
| Templates | Saved sets of platforms and permissions you can reuse across requests. |
| Client records | Each client’s contacts, requests, connections, notes and activity in one place. |
| Requests and Activity | Pages for following open requests and reviewing workspace activity. |
| Team and settings | Team members, notification settings, branding settings and a list of active sessions. |
| Search | Command search (Ctrl K) across clients, requests, integrations and templates. |
Platforms

Audiences
Who is Access29 for?
Access29 serves both sides of the access workflow: the agency asking for access and the client granting it.
Freelancers and consultants
Independent marketers get the same structure without building their own instructions for every platform: one access profile, one request, one link.
In-house marketing teams
Marketing teams that work with outside partners or several stakeholders can keep requests, connections and activity in one workspace.
Clients granting access
For a client, an Access29 request is one link from their agency. The request is scoped to the platforms and permission levels the agency selected, and access goes to the agency’s named accounts through each platform’s own sharing features. The client’s own login stays with the client.
Control
How does Access29 keep client access under control?
By keeping access tied to named agency accounts, scoped by permission level and recorded in your workspace. In practice that means:
-
Platform-native hand-over.Access is granted to your agency’s own accounts through each platform’s sharing features, rather than through a shared login.
-
Elevated access is opt-in.Permission defaults are pre-selected, and Elevated permissions are never included unless you opt in.
-
A record of every client.Client records and the Activity page show requests, connections and activity.
-
Workspace controls.Team settings list who belongs to your workspace, and an active-session list shows where your Access29 account is signed in.
