create campaign on behalf of other user account

[Dmitry Serkin]

Hello!

I am confused with Google Ads API usage. Can it be used to create/manage ads campaigns on behalf of other google ads account. Assume they auth using oauth2 scheme. So far I was able to read information from other accounts, but never write (create campaign, budget, etc). E.g. campaign creation fails with "The operation is not allowed for the given context.". So, is it even possible?

Thanks

Hello Dmitry,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API support. Yes, it is possible once you have access to the account after sending the invitation to the users. From your manager account’s “Access and security” menu, you can invite and manage users to the manager account. You can also audit users who have access to your account, modify their access levels, and remove user accounts. Please refer to the documentation about account access levels.

Kindly refer to the manage user access levels guide, it mentions how to manage users and access levels for your manager account. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions on this.

Regards,
