Webmaster level: AllMany organizations have multiple presences on the web. For example, Webmaster Tools lives at www.google.com/webmasters, but it also has a Twitter account and a YouTube channel. It's important that visitors to these other properties have confidence that they are actually associated with the Webmaster Tools site. However to date it has been challenging for webmasters to manage which users can take actions on behalf of their site in different services.
Today we're happy to announce a new feature in Webmaster Tools that allows webmasters to add "associates" -- trusted users who can act on behalf of your site in other Google products. Unlike site owners and users, associates can't view site data or take any site actions in Webmaster Tools, but they are authorized to perform specific tasks in other products.
For this initial launch, members of YouTube's partner program that have created a YouTube channel for their site can now link the two together. By doing this, your YouTube channel will be displayed as the "official channel" for your website.
Management within Webmaster Tools
To add or change associates:
- On the Webmaster Tools home page, click the site you want.
- Under Configuration, click Associates.
- Click Add a new associate.
- In the text box, type the email address of the person you want to add.
- Select the type of association you want.
- Click Add.
Management within YouTube
It’s also possible for users to request association from a site’s webmaster.- Log in to your YouTube partner account.
- Click on the user menu and choose Settings > Associated Website.
- Fill in the page you would like to associate your channel with.
- Click Add. If you’re a verified owner of the site, you’re done. But if someone else in your organization manages the website, the association will be marked Pending. The owner receives a notification with an option to approve or deny the request.
- After approval is granted, navigate back to this page and click Refresh to complete the association.
If you have more questions, please see the Help with Associates article or visit our webmaster help forum.

Once i found the associates options but now it's not there.
I'm webmaster of Vista Stores & I've one YouTube channel and associated via Google webmaster tools.
But, I'm not able to see any change on my Google webmaster tools. I have already applied to become a partner.
How will this help me and How can I see my real time statistics in Google webmaster tools for YouTube?
I love the way you are improving webmaster tools. It should be the only place to go for SEO and not the 3rd party programmes. Can you introduce more in the way of auto reporting to produce nice reports for clients?
Adding social media is great, nice addition.
This new features will help us a lot for managing associates and we can know what our associates are doing. A great features by Google.

Hello,
I'm very upset at this point. I'm frustrated because I have attempted with many failures to remove my images from the Google Images results once and for all... it would not work, even though the page did not show the image at all. I'm fed up and worried about my security. I understand you probably get this kind of comment everyday, but PLEASE can you have someone email me at my email address (it's tied to my account) so I can speak with a real person about this and clear it up?
Many thanks for your time,
Andrew

I am sorry, but I haven't found that associated websites option in my youtube account. Is there any direct link where I can find it.
Also, in webmasters, there is an option to include youtube channel only, but not for twitter.
Excellent information about Youtube.com. I suggest top first Resource after google.com is Youtube.com Because most of the internet usage people search any one from GOOGLE first and Second in Youtube because youtube is display result in visual base. Hands off
Thank You,,
Regards,
dave lindahl
