Trouble adding a developer
Ilana Strauss
I have a Chrome extension. I'm the developer, and I have a Google group for users than can use the extension. I want to add a collaborator to help develop it. From what I've seen on the Google Developer site, I'm apparently supposed to make a google group to add additional developers. But I see no option to create a new group on my Developer Dashboard.
I'm not sure why, but I have a guess: According to this SO response, you can only have one publishing group associated with your account. So my user group may be preventing me from creating a developer group. But I need a user group — the extension is in testing, and I only want these approved users to be able to use it.
So what do I do? Do I have to create a new Google and developer account and simply give my collaborator the username and password? Or is there a way to do this without creating a new account (as I think that would mean my existing users would have to delete the old extension and re-add the new one, which could get messy as many of them aren't tech-savvy). Thanks!

In order to do this, you will need to create a group using Google groups here. This will allow you to invite users to be part of the group via email - afterwards, there are one of 2 options that you can use.1: You can publish the same copy of the extension under the group as the publisher - this will act as a duplicate, however will allow you to test imported developer changes, and merge said changes to your already published extension.2: In order to have the extension be modifiable by the group, you can fill in a ownership transfer request here. This will transfer ownership from your already published account, to the group itself acting as the publisher. Please be advised however that you will lose the ability to modify the extension as yourself solely at this point.Thanks,Deco
