AuthorizationError USER_PERMISSION_DENIED

[Chad Ruff]

Hi ,

I have adwords google api asp.net code sample googleads-dotnet-lib-master.zip

I have also generated the OAuth2RefreshToken using the OAuthTokenGenerator project

i have made changes to the app.config file 

 <add key="UserAgent" value="GoogleAdwordsTest"/>

 <add key="DeveloperToken" value="DeveloperToken"/>

  <add key="ClientCustomerId" value="123-456-7890"/>

  <add key="AuthorizationMethod" value="OAuth2" />

  <add key="Email" value="te...@gmail.com"/>

  <add key="Password" value="Password"/>

  <add key="OAuth2ClientId" value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com" />

 <add key="OAuth2ClientSecret" value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" />

 <add key="OAuth2Mode" value="APPLICATION" />

i am running the Google.Api.Adwords.Examples.VB.v201406.GetCampaigns sample from 

Adwords.Examples.VB Project v201406-->BasicOperations--> GetCampaigns.vb class

i have just added these two lines

  Public Sub Run(ByVal user As AdWordsUser)

      ' Get the CampaignService.

      Dim campaignService As CampaignService = user.GetService( _

          AdWordsService.v201406.CampaignService)

            Dim config As AdWordsAppConfig = DirectCast(user.Config, AdWordsAppConfig)

            config.ClientCustomerId = "987-654-4321".ToString().Replace("-", "")

            config.DeveloperToken = "DeveloperToken"

      Dim selector As New Selector

      selector.fields = New String() {"Id", "Name", "Status"}

      ' Set the selector paging.

      selector.paging = New Paging

      Dim offset As Integer = 0

      Dim pageSize As Integer = 500

      Dim page As New CampaignPage

      Try

        Do

          selector.paging.startIndex = offset

          selector.paging.numberResults = pageSize

          ' Get the campaigns.

          page = campaignService.get(selector)

I am getting  this error [AuthorizationError.USER_PERMISSION_DENIED @ ; trigger:'<null>'] on the above line

[Chad Ruff]

Hi,

From the below Code i have removed the ClientCustomerId from App.config

Now it works and does not give any error 

but i don't get any campaign  records for my clients 

Now i am just assigning the clientCustomerID  as stated below

            Dim config As AdWordsAppConfig = DirectCast(user.Config, AdWordsAppConfig)

            config.ClientCustomerId = "987-654-4321".ToString().Replace("-", "")

            config.DeveloperToken = "DeveloperToken"

here i am just assigning the client's CustomerID but it is returning me zero records

but actually campaigns do exist for this client

Can you tell me what i am doing wrong 

or am i missing anything

[Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)]

Hi,

Could you provide the following information?

1. Were you logged in under a) an MCC account or b) an AdWords account when you generated the refresh token in your config?

2. Is the client customer ID you are using in the code snippet below for an MCC account or an AdWords account?

I ask these questions because if you do not specify a client customer ID in your request then AdWords will infer the customer ID to use from the credentials on the request. Therefore, if the credentials are from an MCC account then you'll get back zero campaigns because an MCC account does not have any campaigns of its own.

Thanks,

Hi ,

1. I had  logged into my  MCC account  account when i  generated the refresh token in my config.

2. The  client customer ID that i am using in my code snippet below is for an AdWords account

 

  config.ClientCustomerId = "449-909-2808".ToString().Replace("-", "")

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

You are setting the values on the config after you call the AdWordsUser constructor. Since the values from the config are set in the AdWordsUser's base class constructor, your changes to the config after the constructor call will have no effect on the AdWordsUser object.

Any one of the following would fix this issue:

1. Modify the config before creating your AdWordsUser
2. Set the ClientCustomerId in your config XML to the correct customer ID
3. Set the clientCustomerId on the request header directly via: campaignService.RequestHeader.clientCustomerId = "449-909-2808"

Please give one of those a try and let me know if you still run into problems.

Hi Josh,

Please find attached request_info.log and soap_xml.log 

Thanks

[Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)]

Hi,

As I mentioned in my previous post, setting the clientCustomerId on the AdWordsAppConfig object after you create your AdWordsUser will not set the clientCustomerId for requests made by that user. Please try one of the three options I mentioned in that post and confirm that the clientCustomerId SOAP header appears in your request.

Cheers,

Hi Josh,

  I have Top level MCC which has a different Customer ID  and many client Adwords Accounts under this mcc account

   My App.cofig does not have any settings i have commented them all

   

  i have created a getUser function Which assign the config values 

 

This is Code file for GetCampaigns.vb from Adwords  Project Code samples for Dot net

   

   googleads-dotnet-lib-master\examples\AdWords\Vb\v201406\BasicOperations

 I am using this v201406

In  have changed my previous code

My Modified Code is as below

Now the ClientCustomerID is being set you can see in attached log files

 But now  i  am getting an error  as follows [AuthorizationError.USER_PERMISSION_DENIED @ ; trigger:'<null>']

I have about 28 clients i have tried with all the customerids for all the 28 i get this same error

Do you need more information which i can provide so that we can resolve this 

Thanks and Regards

                config.ClientCustomerId = "746-686-2521"

Hi Chad,

That error indicates that the user you were logged in as when you went through the OAuth2 flow that generated the refresh token does not have access to the account specified in the clientCustomerId header.

When going through the OAuth2 flow to generate the refresh token, please make sure you are logged in as the proper Google account (usually an MCC that is linked to the client account). It may help to first log out of all of your Google accounts in your browser, restart your browser, and then navigate to the URL generated when you run the OAuth2 Token Generator.

Thanks,

Hi Josh,

First of all thanks a lot for the update !!

Yes u were right it was a wrong google id that was used whille generating the token

I regenerated the token using the correct login details and i got the campaign details

now i am using a function to get the stats information
