OperationAccessDenied.ACTION_NOT_PERMITTED

[Ryan]

Hi everyone,

We have Basic access API key and we are trying to send an offline conversion using 

Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201705\cm\OfflineConversionFeedService

but we get an error code 

OperationAccessDenied.ACTION_NOT_PERMITTED

When we do other operations (e.g. get list of campaigns and their daily budgets, we don't get any errors and everything seems to work fine).

Any idea why we would get this error? Are we not supposed to be able to send offline conversions with our Basic Access?

Hi Ryan,

While having basic access allows users to utilize the AdWords API, it does not necessarily allow a user to access (view/manage) information of a specific MCC/client account. When using the AdWords API, users will need to secure or generate OAuth2 credentials using an email address which has access (preferably with administrative access) to the MCC/client account they are making calls against.

This being said, I would recommend that you login to your account and go to Account settings > Account access and identify which email addresses have the appropriate access level and generate the OAuth2 credentials using the said email and once done, you may retry your request. Let me know if this helps.

Thanks and regards,

Peter
