Clarification needed service account + API calls.

[Alexander]

I need to understand what am I doing wrong when get NOT_ADS_USER error.

What I have:

1. Google Ads account (xxx-xxx-xxxx).

2. Developer id for this account (xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx).

3. "xxx xxx xxx" project in cloud console with Ads API enabled.

4. Service account (xx...@xxx-xxx-xxx-316211.iam.gserviceaccount.com) with generated key and wide-domain delegation enabled.

My workflow:

1. Get auth token using JWT (success, no errors)

2. Make a call with this token (NOT_ADS_USER error)

Right now I have "test account" api enabled only but even with newly created test account with all the stuff done I get the same error. I tried to change logins, emails, add and remove "sub" field in JWT claim, nothing works. May be I'm missing something. 

Help me

Hi Alexander,

Thank you for reaching out. I would recommend you use the OAuth Desktop Application Flow or the OAuth Web Application Flow instead. Please give it a try to use either of them by following this guide.

Thanks and regards,
