Issue with Creating Customer Client using Ads API

[Deepakraj S]

Hi Google Ads API Support,

I hope this email finds you well. I am currently facing an issue while attempting to link the ads-account of my users under my manager account for effective ad and campaign management. Here's a breakdown of the problem:

1. I possess the developer-token for the root-manager-account named "Ads Api Account" with the email address sdeepak...@gmail.com, having "standard" access level.

2. I created a GCP project named "Ads Managing App" with the only scope of "adwords" and enabled "google-ads-api."

3. I established a Test-Manager account named (test-manager) and created an operating-customer (manager level) named "client-manager-1" under it.

4. My goal is to connect a Google Ads Account (created by another mail-id: dhanude...@gmail.com) with the "client-manager-1" account using the createCustomerClient REST API in the Web Interface.
Here are the relevant details: 

test-manager Customer ID: 8004830137
client-manager-1 Customer ID: 6526719162
Google Ads Account Customer ID: 6506040419
The API request I am using:

curl --request POST \
'https://googleads.googleapis.com/v15/customers/6526719162:createCustomerClient?key=[YOUR_API_KEY]' \
--header 'developer-token: **********************' \
--header 'login-customer-id: 8004830137' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN]' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"customerClient":{"currencyCode":"INR","timeZone":"Asia/Kolkata","descriptiveName":"test client from dhanudeepak","resourceName":"customers/6506040419"}}' \
--compressed

Issues I encountered:

•  When attempting to sign in using sdeepak...@gmail.com, I received a 403 error with the message "The caller does not have permission" and details indicating an "AUTHORIZATION_ERROR."
  
  { "error": { "code": 403, "message": "The caller does not have permission", "status": "PERMISSION_DENIED", "details": [ { "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.ads.googleads.v15.errors.GoogleAdsFailure", "errors": [ { "errorCode": { "authorizationError": "AUTHORIZATION_ERROR" }, "message": "Authorization of the client failed." } ], "requestId": "xfMFwpqpbUv0DmhBN8oCYA" } ] } }
  
  
• When attempting to sign in using dhanude...@gmail.com, the consent screen displayed a 403 error, and after closing it, I received the response "Error authorizing: popup_closed_by_user."
  

I kindly request your assistance in resolving this matter. Your guidance will be highly appreciated.

Thank you for your attention.

Best regards,
Deepakraj
