Hi all, 

My agency (Publicis) had a query around the process/permissions for a 3rd party (eg. Tealium) getting access to a developer token to make calls against the API for accounts under the Agency's MCC. 

I'm wondering is there a set process for 3P's to get this access to make changes to accounts under an agency MCC, are there any legal ramifications on agency side?

Google's previous response "We don't grant end-advertiser developer tokens to be used with 3P tools, it is not allowed via API Policy. Tealium should reach out to us and obtain their own developer token for the connector they're building. "
- Is there any outline of this policy?
- Are there existing best practices for 3P's applying for the token?

Any help is much appreciated!

Best regards,

Kieran

Hi Dhanya, 

Thank you for your response, I am asking on behalf of a client, so I do not have an MCC or developer token number. Is this still the best route for me to take?

Best regards,

Kieran
