Google Ads - Limit of 20 Accounts under any one email

[Tom]

We noticed that the new Google Ads API requires "User" access, not just "Manager" access. Is this correct firstly? It presents a problem in that an email, like mine above, can only have 20 accounts tied to the email. What is the solution to this problem as we have more than 20 accounts we need API access to? Do we need to do it under a different email?

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Forum.

In Google Ads API perspective, you’ll need only to authenticate API requests with OAuth2 credentials using the email with the appropriate access to the accounts (customer_id) you will specify in your requests. Please make sure you use the correct login-customer-id that you used to generate the OAuth2 credentials, as an OAuth2 access token that grants access to the API.

With regards to sending email invites to 20 accounts, note that the maximum number of pending invitations is 20. You can see your pending invitations in your manager account under Settings > Sub-account settings. If your manager account already has 20 pending invitations, then you cannot invite additional client accounts.

However, as solution to reduce the number of pending invitations, you can ask administrative users on the requested accounts to approve the linking invites or you can revoke the invites if they are no longer needed. Also, you may consider bringing your manager account under the account limit, you must cancel some accounts or unlink accounts from your manager account.

hello thank you for this.

Could i get the API access I need to additional accounts by making one of the accounts a Submanager account of some sort that itself has multiple accounts under it?

This is confusing because we are talking about User access w/the new API and not Manager access as I understand it. I'm familiar with Submanagers under Manager accounts.

thank you,

Tom
