System User Token

[Kate Orlova]

Hi! Is there any possibility to generate and use system user token to authenticate instead of Oauth?

Now or maybe in future?

Hi,

Currently, OAuth is the only approach used for authentication. Please add more details regarding system user token so that I can forward your concern to the rest of the team.

Something similar to this: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/audience-network/optimization/report-api/system-user/#usetoken

Hi Kate,

The description seems similar to the access/refresh token required to make Ads API calls. However, the cloud project and OAuth credentials are required as well for authenticating and authorizing Ads users.
