Hi Shady, 

The error is usually triggered if the user is not allowed to perform the mutate action. Could you please check the access level for the email address used for generating the OAuth credentials? If you're still having an issue, could you please share the request and response logs without redacting along with the email address used for authentication, to check this further? You can reply back via Reply privately to author option.

Thanks,

Hi Shady, 

Thank you for sharing the logs privately. The client customer Id from the logs belongs to a manager account. You will be able to create campaigns in a client account. Please refer to this guide for the details on account organization. Can you create a client account and create the campaigns for a client account and let us know if you have any issues?

Regards,

Hi, The account I'm using is a test manager account, i cant find a way to create client test account.

When i try to link my customer account to it i get this error: "Manager and client account setting type is not compatible"

What is the issue here?

Appreciate your assistance.

Hi Shady, 

You may refer to this guide to create new client accounts. Once the account is created, you may use that to create new campaigns. Can you please give this a try and let us know if you have any issues?

Thanks,

Great! i managed to create new account under the test manager account and then adding campaign under it, but for some reason the new accounts are created wuth status 'canceled'

 is this because I'm using test manager?

Thank you very much!

Hi Shady, 

I'm glad that you were able to create the campaigns. You're right. The test accounts will appear in the UI with status as cancelled. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
