## Prerequisites

* **Owner** access to your YouTube channel, so you can invite the integration account.

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add YouTube in AccessOwl">
    Either add a new application or open Applications and click the +-symbol, then continue.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite the integration account as Manager">
    AccessOwl shows you the integration account's email address. In YouTube Studio, open the channel permissions settings and invite the integration account with the **Manager** role.

    <Note>
      The integration account needs the Manager role because only Managers and Owners can invite users and remove access in YouTube Studio.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The user was provisioned but I can't see them in YouTube Studio">
    When AccessOwl provisions a user, the integration account sends them an invite email. The user only appears in your channel's Permissions list after they accept the invitation. YouTube invitations expire after 30 days if not accepted. If a provisioning request shows as completed in AccessOwl but the user is not yet visible in YouTube Studio, they have not accepted the invite yet.
