    Hello,

    My name is Charles Fazio with Agency Fifty3, we are a digital agency that provides custom WordPress websites for our clients, we use RankMath on all of our websites.

    We want to connect GSC for the benefit of auto sitemap submission, and GSC being notified whenever site changs are made, to trigger a re-indexation request.

    However, we do not want the analytics dashboard to display in WordPress. We already give our clients custom monthly reporting, and adding another reporting dashboard in their WordPress is too much information.

    How can we enable the GSC connection for sitemap pinging, but disable the analytics dashboard?

    Best,
    Charles

  • Hello Charles,

    Thank you for reaching out with your query regarding connecting Google Search Console (GSC) for auto sitemap indexation while disabling the analytics dashboard in Rank Math.

    To enable the GSC connection for auto sitemap submission and disable the analytics dashboard in Rank Math, you can follow these steps:

    When I create the GSC connection and than disable the analytics dashboard, the analytics tab where I connected GSC is now removed.

    Does this mean that the connection is removed, or is the connection still there its just not visible on the dashboard.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, that isn’t possible at the moment, you need to turn on the Analytics module to get the benefits of auto submissions and other automated features and the Analytics Dashboard will always be shown.

    However, if your client has non-admin rights, you can make use of our Role Manager to control what displays on the dashboard for your non-admin users: https://rankmath.com/kb/role-manager/

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Jeremy,

    thank you!

    The role manager solves our problem.
