Google has added a new “associations” feature in the Search Console. The new associations feature allows you to connect your Search Console account with other Google accounts like, Google Analytics, YouTube, Android apps, and more.
Recommendation:
Association is a connection between a Search Console property, and some other entity or property in another Google service: for example, between a Search Console property and a Google Analytics account, a YouTube channel, or a Chrome Web Store account.
