How to add, remove and change the YouTube channel manager?

Is the fact that more than one person can manage a YouTube channel known to you? We can also assign different permissions and roles depending on our needs. We can have multiple people managing channels without giving them access to our Google Account. Inviting someone to manage your channel is safer than sharing the password and it lets you give only the amount of access they need.

Five different roles can be assigned to a person via permission. These roles are Manager, limited Editor, Editor, Viewer, and limited Viewer. There are a few different ways to grant someone access to the YouTube channel, but it all depends on the type of channel one has. There are two types of channels. Personal YouTube channels, and brand accounts. Let's discuss personal channels first.
