I have a set of applications that use both AdWords and Ads APIs for reporting. All of reporting to date has been for a set of accounts managed under a single MCC. I was recently given access to another MCC and was attempting to run the same applications against the accounts associated with this new MCC but received a USER PERMISSION DENIED authorization error. Do I need to regenerate credentials or is there some way I can used my existing credentials to gain access? Thanks.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for reaching out. If you are authenticating as a managing user through your MCC, please make sure you are specifying the managing customer ID in the login-customer-id field in your request. This error is often due to a missing login-customer-id in these cases.
