Permission denied for first API call

[Aditya Todkar]

I am trying to make first API call using this command: 
python get_campaigns.py --customer_id=352-XXXXXX

Error with message "User doesn't have permission to access customer. Note: If you're accessing a client customer, the manager's customer id must be set in the 'login-customer-id' header. See https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/concepts/call-structure#cid".

I have already created test manager account and after that I have created 2 accounts each having one test campaign. 

I have added test manager account customer id in google.yaml file but when I use customer id of red and blue account in python get_campaigns script it shows above error message. Can someone please let me know what I am missing?

I was able to resolve the issue. After giving access to account used to generate credentials I was able to get all campaigns for particular customer id.
