Hi Abdul,

Note that the criterion IDs across different accounts should not be compared. Kindly do not assume any undefined behavior of the API. For example, if the API documentation does not explicitly mention that keyword criterion IDs across accounts should be the same or not, this is an undefined behavior and we do not guarantee the result. We do not expose the internal behavior or implementation of the API/SDK, so we cannot answer this question.

If you want identical IDs to identify different resources then use the full resource name, as that is guaranteed to be unique.
 

Thanks,
