Get permissions of login behind OAuth access token

[al...@trueclicks.com]

I have a quick question that I did not find answer to in this forum yet.

Google Ads login can have one of 5 different permission levels, starting from lowest Email-only all the way up to Administrative access. The OAuth token inherits the same permissions of a login it was authenticated with.

Question: Is it possible to retrieve through an Google Ads/AdWords API call what permissions Email/../Administrative we have with the given OAuth token?

Best,

Hi Ales,

On the AdWords API perspective, if what you want is to fetch the access level of specific OAuth token based on this link, I'm afraid that this is currently not supported via AdWords API.

Other way to know the access level is too check it in UI by navigating to TOOLS->SETUP->Account access search for the particular user accounts which you want to know.

To at least check whether there's only read-only access to a given account you could try send a simple operation (e.g. creating a new campaign) with the validateOnly header as suggested in this thread.
