Share ownership

You can share access to the items you manage in the Chrome Web Store by adding additional members to the publisher that owns them.

Create a publisher

Publishers own one or more items in the Chrome Web Store. A publisher is created when you first register as a developer, and you can create one additional publisher if needed.

To do so, go to your Profile page and choose the Create a new publisher option. You will be asked to provide a name for the new publisher.
