moveManagerLink - AUTHORIZATION_ERROR, Authorization of the client failed.

[Damian Szczepański]

I'm trying to replace current manager 3191377543 with a new manager 6762660391 on client 9801005090. I'm getting following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Google\ApiCore\ApiException: { "message": "The caller does not have permission", "code": 7, "status": "PERMISSION_DENIED", "details": [ { "@type": 0, "data": "type.googleapis.com\/google.ads.googleads.v3.errors.GoogleAdsFailure" }, { "@type": 0, "data": [ { "errorCode": { "authorizationError": "AUTHORIZATION_ERROR" }, "message": "Authorization of the client failed." } ] } ] } thrown in /home/dszomh/domains/app.datadriventool.com/public_html/libraries/google-ads/vendor/google/gax/src/ApiException.php on line 139

My code:

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/libraries/google-ads/vendor/autoload.php');

$googleAdsClient = (new GoogleAdsClientBuilder())->fromFile()->withOAuth2Credential($oAuth2Credential)->build();


$customerManagerLinkServiceClient = $googleAdsClient->getCustomerManagerLinkServiceClient();


try {


  $previousCustomerManagerLink = "customers/9801005090/customerManagerLinks/3191377543~182140507";


  $response = $customerManagerLinkServiceClient->moveManagerLink($customerId, $previousCustomerManagerLink, $newManager);


  print_r($response);


} finally {


  $customerManagerLinkServiceClient->close();
