Administrative owner

[Marc Selman]

Is it possible to link a customer account to a manager account and set the manager account as administrative owner using the Google Ads API?

By default the manager account will not have administrative owner rights, but some of our customers would like this so our support team can perform some technical stuff for our customers which they can't or don't want to do themselves.

Is there maybe an extra OAuth scope the user has to agree to?

Hello Marc,

Linking a client account to the manager account is possible. After linking, the manager account will be having complete rights over the linked client account to perform operations. The Admin user of the manager account will be able to make API calls to the client account with his OAuth credentials. Also, In the API call header you have to specify the LogIn-client-customer as the manager id and the client-customer-id as the actual linked account to which you want to make API calls. 

You could use CustomerClientLinkService to expand the invitation from the manager account and CustomerManagerLinkService to accept that link from the client side. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi Sai,

Yes, we already do this but I was talking about the "Administrative owner" setting which can be found under "Tools -> Account access -> Managers".

Our manager account is linked there so we can perform campaign operations. But some of our customers want us to help them with setting up Analytics and conversion tracking etc and for that we need "Administrative owner" rights.

We now contact our customers to enable that setting for our manager account but I was wondering if that could be done with an extra OAuth scope and/or API call.

Hello Marc,

The Administrative owner setting cannot be toggled via API, you have to do it via UI only.
