Permission denied

[Niels van der Molen]

Today, I suddenly got a permission denied error on all calls of the Google Ads API to my test accounts.

I tried with a new OAuth refresh token. I do not get the error when using the manager's customer id but you have to get to the client id directly to manage campaigns. Also tried to create a new test client but the same permission denied error. I do have access to the client from the Google Adwords UI.

Test manager id: 8136493746

Test client id: 3211402788

Is there anything that has changed on your side, it was working two days ago?

root@be730853d71a:/var/www/project# php examples/BasicOperations/GetCampaigns.php --customerId 8136493746   #no results

root@be730853d71a:/var/www/project# php examples/BasicOperations/GetCampaigns.php --customerId 3211402788 

Request with ID 'MK7EvGmZpXVu-j_6BEmFyA' has failed.

Google Ads failure details:

authorization_error: User doesn't have permission to access customer.

"code": 7,
"status": "PERMISSION_DENIED",

User doesn't have permission to access customer.

Thanks,

Niels

Hello Niels,

Yesterday the Google Ads API team starting enforcing a a new header that was originally announced in the v0_6 release. If this header is not set you can get USER_PERMISSION_DENIED errors. The change is in the process of being rolled back since many users were not ready, yet. Please monitor the Google Ads API blog for details on when this change will be released and how to prepare.

Regards,
Sai Teja, Google Ads API Team
