    Google Site Kit: How do I prevent my Google account Email address & User Name being visible in across any of the site’s WordPress pages Source Code? i.e. see this field data var ‘_googlesitekitUserData = ‘

    Also if installing Google Site Kit plugin on separate client sites, how do I prevent users clicking on e.g. an agency email address associated with the account used to setup Site Kit, and being able to ‘Manage Sites’? Third-party sites with account access – You gave Site Kit access to site(s) that you own, including data from Google services that is associated with those sites (for example, Google Analytics data).
    Remove access for sites you no longer use or trust.

    Thanks for reaching out. Site Kit does not expose your email or username in your sites source code. If you’d like to share your Site Health information privately using this form I’d be happy to look into your current setup and see if I can assist in identifying the cause.

    At present Site Kit can only be setup and used by WordPress administrator roles. If a user has that role they have the ability to access the email and disconnect settings from the Site Kit admin menu.

    One option is to provide your clients with instructions on setting up Site Kit from their side, while then granting you access directly from Analytics and the other services. You’ll find more information on this in a similar topic which was previously opened.

    Feel free to also submit any feature requests on the plugins GitHub repository.
