API Pull with Read Only Access

[Bill Jackson]

We would like to give a client Read Only Access to an account. They intend to connect that account to their reporting tool via API. Would it be possible for our client to access an account with API credentials if their login is at the Read-Only level?

[Anthony Madrigal]

Hi Bill,

If you give your client read-only access, they will be able to use the API once they generate credentials. They will not be able to change anything (e.g, create campaigns, pause/enable campaigns) but they will be able to retrieve data (e.g., get campaigns) and run reports.

Cheers,

Anthony
