Limit Api Access to a spefic account

[minie...@gmail.com]

Dear users,

I'm facing a nice problem: we have an MCC with many internal accounts (one for product) and I would like to limit a specific Client ID to a specific AdWord account.

What's your suggestion for this kind of problem? Is there any available solution?

Many thanks in advance for every account.

Hello Miniera,

You can create a new google account (e.g. gmail account) and add it to the access list of this specific AdWords account.

Then use this gmail account to generate OAuth credentials for the application.

Hi Danial,
Let me check if I ve understood.

I have an account A with an MCC and many adWords account B, C and D associated to this MCC (and account A)
Our Development token is associated to the account A.

So, as far as I understood from your response.

I can create an account X associated to the account B for example, going to the developers home, creating a client ID.
Within the all the request I will use client id from account X but Api developer token from the account X.

Am I correct?
Thanks for all the helpyou can provide me.

Hello Miniera,

The developer token or client ID doesn't restrict the accounts you can access, only the OAuth credentials do.

You need to create a login X and grant it the access to only account you want to grant access to (not the MCC). Then generate a refresh token for this login.

Any application using the API with refresh token of X will now only be able to access this account.
