Hi,

Is it possible to assign a developer token that has been granted with standard access to another mcc?

Thanks.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Forum.

A company should have only one developer token. Note that the developer token is like a license key; it is tied to an MCC account for approval purposes, but once approved, you can use it to make calls against any Google Ads MCC account within the same company. The MCC hierarchy for making API calls doesn't matter. For example, let's say you have the following detached account structure:

Where MCC ID 649-391-1111 is owned by local division 1, and MCC ID 948-640-2222 is owned by local division 2. You should be able to make API calls to Account 2 with the credentials of that account (or any of its parent MCCs) and devtoken from MCC ID 649-391-1111

That being said, you’ll be able to access Google Ads via API once you authenticate API requests with OAuth2 credentials using the email with the appropriate access to the accounts (customer_id) you will specify in your requests. 

Let us know if you have any additional questions.
