Using Production MCC Data in a Test Account

[Scott Scriven]

Hello!

I am managing a new developer on building an application utilizing the AdWords API. We have a test account created and we have a master AdWords MCC with our production data for our live clients.

We want to give our developer access to relevant data when operating within the Test Environment, but since the developer is in a probationary period before we hire them on full time, we do not want to surrender access to our Production Account at this time.

Is there a way to enable read only access to our Production account data for use in the Test Account? I've looked through the documentation and the forums, and the answer seems a little unclear. Any help towards finding a solution would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Hello Scott,

There is no way to transfer data between accounts easily but you can grant the developer a read-only access to your production account. Potentially, they can re-create your production layout in a test account using the API.
