Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

With regard to your concern, the ACTION_NOT_PERMITTED usually occurs when the account who authorized the script didn't have permission (write) to the said Ads Account. That said, we would recommend to review the account who authorize the script and make sure that it has necessary permission.
