OperationAccessDenied.SET_OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED @ class campaignmgmt.campaign.MutateAction (SET) requires UPDATE_CAMPAIGNS

[Juergen Henning]

Hi,

I have a problem mutating campaigns (and adgroups) for some of our customers. I got an error message (see below), and I don't know how to deal with. My assumption is, that the customer has rejected any kind of changes in the OAuth2 credentials. Is there any way to determine the ability to make changes via the api before the errors occurs?

Hello, 

It appears that you have read-only access to that account. You won't be able to check access level in API though.

Thanks,

Yin, AdWords API Team.

Hello Yin,

hmm - so I have to implement a workaround for this topic...

Thanks
