Getting 403 error when calling gmb api to get the location listing of my account

[Jiaxin Wu]

Hi, 

When I called the gmb api ('https://mybusiness.googleapis.com/v4/accounts' with access token) to get the location listing of our account, I got :

'{ StatusCodeError: 403 - {"error":{"code":403,"message":"Request had insufficient authentication scopes.","status":"PERMISSION_DENIED"}}.'

and in headers, it said: 

 'www-authenticate:
         'Bearer realm="https://accounts.google.com/", error="insufficient_scope", scope="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/business.manage https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.business.manage"''.

I added the scope into my google adword oauth client id, and the access token was also generated in google adword oauth client id. What's the reason of this error? Is it because I added the scope to the wrong client? Maybe I should add it in my google oauth client not the google adword oauth client?

Thanks!!
