In order for AIOSEO to work seamlessly, several permissions are granted by users during the standard oAuth flow.
Below is a list of Google permissions we ask and what AIOSEO uses them for.
Note: the exact permissions asked for changes based on the version of AIOSEO used and settings you’ve selected, so you might not be asked for all of these permissions. Enterprise editions of AIOSEO with custom functionality might require additional permissions depending on the features required to fulfill the Enterprise user’s needs.
Google Search Console
AIOSEO only uses these permissions to allow for verification of domain ownership, sync sitemaps between your site and the Search Console, as well as retrieve the data to create a Search Console report inside the user’s WordPress dashboard.
Google Userinfo Profile
This permission is used by AIOSEO to allow for locale detection and subsequent translation to match user preferences.
We also use this to enable Login with Google functionality, for security permissions retainment/enforcement, marketing new features/offers and for ownership detail monitoring.
