sub-account

[diad]

Hi, I have a few questions.

1. By using the CustomerService.CreateCustomerClient in the Google Ads API to create a sub-account under a specific manager account, does the relationship between the two accounts resemble the structure of linking the manager account with an existing client account using AccountLinkService.CreateAccountLink?

2-1. If the relationship (structure) is the same, can the connection between the manager account and the created sub-account be severed using AccountLinkService.MutateAccountLink?

2-2. And is the separated sub-account independently usable, along with other client accounts?

3-1. If the relationship is not the same, are there any other ways to disconnect the connection between the manager account and the sub-account created using CustomerService.CreateCustomerClient? Is the sub-account solely dependent on the manager account, without being separable and existing only in a dependent relationship with the manager account?

Hi, 

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Team. I hope you are doing well today.

>> With regards to this matter, we highly recommend to follow the Google Ads API documentation and guidelines, to avoid future errors. See below for reference.

• Creating an Account - https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/account-management/create-account
• Linking to Manager Accounts - https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/account-management/linking-manager-accounts

2-1. If the relationship (structure) is the same, can the connection between the manager account and the created sub-account be severed using AccountLinkService.MutateAccountLink?

>> Please note that, The two services that are used to create a link between two accounts in the Google Ads API are the CustomerClientLinkService and the CustomerManagerLinkService. See Linking to Manager Accounts > Services (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/account-management/linking-manager-accounts#services) for more information.

2-2. And is the separated sub-account independently usable, along with other client accounts?

>> Yes, know more about it in List Accessible Accounts https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/account-management/listing-accounts).

3-1. If the relationship is not the same, are there any other ways to disconnect the connection between the manager account and the sub-account created using CustomerService.CreateCustomerClient? Is the sub-account solely dependent on the manager account, without being separable and existing only in a dependent relationship with the manager account?

>> For this, I recommend checking the API documentation and guidelines of Managing User Access (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/account-management/managing-users) and Get Account Hierarchy (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/account-management/get-account-hierarchy).

Let us know how it goes on your end. Have a great day.
