Hi,

we want to authorize client accounts, so we can manage their adgroups and stuff, but the question is, everytime a new customers comes to us, do they have to make a Client manager account?
If so, how can i get the customer client IDs, where the campaigns are located, (so not the ID of the ClientManager Account, but the actual clients)

At the moment when someone logs in with their account, they are an Manager and have 1 user, with 2 campaigns under them, the issue is, when i try to fetch the client customer id from their account, it gives me the id of the manager, and not the ones of the client, where the campaigns are located.

Im sorry for a really confused question, it caused alot of confusion here too haha

Hi Luc,

I did not get what you meant by 'authorize'. You can either link the client accounts directly to your MCC or have a Client MCC linked to your MCC. Please refer this section of Help Center guide for better clarity. If you use ManagedCustomerService.get() and pass the client customer ID of the client manager account, you will be able to get the client accounts under that manager account. Please let me know if you have further questions.
