Getting user permission(read/write) information from adwords api

[adil hussain]

How do I get to know the access permissions of a user account in adwords for updating a campaign without actually making a call to update method.

When I call the update method ie adwords_api.service(:CampaignService, v201710).mutate([operation])

I get an error OperationAccessDenied.ACTION_NOT_PERMITTEDwhich means the user for which I am trying to create a campaign doesn't has required permission.

I would like to know the same without actually calling the mutate() method. I am looking for something like adwords_api.user_permissions

I searched the google adwords api extensively for knowing if a user has update permissions on his/her token via api call.

I wan't to check the same first before actually calling the update method ie mutate() method of adwords.

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Adil,

I am afraid, you will not be able to get the access levels (read only, admin etc.,) of a user associated with an AdWords account using the AdWords API. You will need to get this information from the AdWords UI. Let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks,
