This script is currently not authorized to run in your account.

[Thomas Michael Schneider]

Hello, 

everytime I want to authorize the script I get this message:

"This script is currently not authorized to run in your account.

Please start the authorization process again."

Did anyone gets the same message and does anyone knows a solution?

Thanks!

Thomas

[Thomas Michael Schneider]

Ah, seems that it works in Incognito Mode.

Hi Thomas,

Glad you found a solution.  You could also clear your browser's cookies as an option.

Thanks,

Thanks Tyler.

[Alex Calinov]

Yes, I'm also having this problem. Clearing browser's cookies doesn't help. 

[Tyler Sidell (AdWords Scripts Team)]

Hi Alex,

Can you try copying, pasting, and rerunning the new script?  Please let us know if that resolves your authentication issues.

Thanks,

What do you mean by new script?

I've tried multiple scripts, including the "Your First Script" from here https://developers.google.com/adwords/scripts/docs/your-first-script . Same problem. 

I get the Authorise notification, I click , Allow, and then I get the error. 

Have a look at this  short video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pcn92g7hz6s3myb/adwords%20error.mp4?dl=0

Hi Alex,

I meant copy and pasting the script that is giving you an issue within the AdWords UI.  Since you specified that it is an issue with all scripts, can you reply privately to the author with your CID along with the email address that you are logged into when you are trying to authorize the script.  Please also log out of all other Google accounts if you can when you try to authorize the script.

Thanks,

Ok. Thank you. I replied privately. I also took down that video. If you still need it, let me know

[Alex Calinov]

Also, I forgot to mention that I'm using Chrome as a browser, BUT I've also tried testing with Safari, and I have the same problem. 

[Alex Calinov]

Any news on this? Haven't received your reply from my last message.

[Anash Oommen]

Hi Alex,

Apologies for the delay. I've asked the Scripts team to take a look, but they were traveling to attend the Scripts workshops. I'll ping them for updates today and update this thread as I hear from them.

Cheers,

Hi Alex,

The issue happens because you are logged into multiple accounts in your browser. One of them is not an AdWords account (but probably a gmail user), and that triggers the option.

To fix the issue, you simply need to log out of other Google accounts within your browser. If you need multiple login sessions side-by-side, try using an incognito browser window, or browser user profiles.

I'm getting the same problem using MCC. I need to run a script on one of my client's accounts and I can't figure out why I'm having a problem. Here's the script I'm running:

Hi Ed,

This is a script for a regular advertiser account, so have you set it up by logging into their Advertiser account? Another option is to set it up in your MCC account, but the script needs a minor modification if you need to make it work that way. If you can share your AdWords customer ID by using the "Reply to Author" option, I can take a look.
