Google My Business will delete the Site Manager person position

Google has now removed the site manager role or user rights level for Google My Business users. Now I see three levels; (1) primary owner, (2) owner, and (3) manager. Google has sent out e-mails informing them that the role of “site manager” has been removed.

Those with Site Manager roles will be assigned the Manager role after October 24th.

Both Joy Hawkins and Brian Shumway sent me copies of this email notification on Foolto have. The email says, “The site manager role will be removed.” It goes on to say: “You are receiving this email because at least one of your company profiles is managed by a site manager. After October 24, 2021, the site manager role will no longer be available at Google. Anyone who manages your company as a site manager becomes manager. Managers can make additional changes to your company profiles in Search, Maps, and other Google services. If you want to remove site managers from your company profile before the change occurs, you can manage them who has access to your profiles by going to business.google.com. “

Here is a screenshot of that email:

Previously, Google named the site manager as a Community manager. Here were the permissions back then:
