Accept invitation using Google Ads API

[rentca...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I keep getting the following error when trying to accept an invitation for linking an account to our MCC.  I'm trying to link CustomerMCC to our MasterMCC.  I followed the example in https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/account-management/linking-manager-accounts

What customerId should be used for Client.config.loginCustomerId?

Below is the request and response

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out. The customerId used for Client.config.loginCustomerId should be the CustomerMCC account id. It is the account that you would like to accept the invitation to link to your MasterMCC.

Thanks and regards,

Hello,

As you can see from the above post I'm using the CustomerMCC for Client.config.loginCustomerId and am getting the "USER_PERMISSION_DENIED error.  Pasted below for easy reference.

Headers: {

  "x-goog-api-client": "gl-dotnet/4.0.30319 gapic/5.0.0 gax/3.1.0+acac8dfe75024cb815497966fe13fc6cb1a1b0ed grpc/2.32.0",

  "developer-token": "REDACTED",

  "login-customer-id": "<CustomerMCC>", <--the account that needs to accept the invitation

  "x-goog-request-params": "customer_id= <CustomerMCC>  "

}

Below is the customerManagerLinkOperation

[ { "update": { "resourceName": "customers/<CustomerMCC>/customerManagerLinks/MasterMCC~ManagerLinkId", "status": "ACTIVE" }, "updateMask": "resourceName,status" } ]

Below is my AcceptInvitation code...

        private string AcceptInvitation(Int64 CompanyMCC, string managerLinkResourceName)

        {

            if (managerLinkResourceName.Length > 0)

            {

                Int64 MasterMCC = Convert.ToInt64(Client.Config.LoginCustomerId);

                Client.Config.LoginCustomerId = CompanyMCC.ToString();

                CustomerManagerLinkServiceClient customerManagerLinkService = Client.GetService(Services.V5.CustomerManagerLinkService);

                CustomerManagerLink customerManagerLink = new CustomerManagerLink()

                {

                    ResourceName = managerLinkResourceName,

                    Status = Google.Ads.GoogleAds.V5.Enums.ManagerLinkStatusEnum.Types.ManagerLinkStatus.Active

                };

                CustomerManagerLinkOperation customerManagerLinkOperation = new CustomerManagerLinkOperation

                {

                    Update = customerManagerLink,

                    UpdateMask = FieldMasks.AllSetFieldsOf(customerManagerLink)

                };

                MutateCustomerManagerLinkResponse response = customerManagerLinkService.MutateCustomerManagerLink(CompanyMCC.ToString(), new[] { customerManagerLinkOperation });

            }

            return "success";

        }

Not sure what I'm missing.
