Dfareporting.Placements.Generatetags.execute() API v4 return forbidden

[Adi Ozeri]

Hi,

I've been using the "generate tags" API request for quite some time now. However, recently, I've been encountering forbidden errors with the following content message: "Your user profile doesn't have permission to view floodlights."

Could you please let me know if there have been any changes to the required permissions?

Thank you.

Hello,

So, actually to be accurate we are using the campaign manager sdk v4 and for generating the tags we are using the following API:
https://developers.google.com/doubleclick-advertisers/rest/v4/placements/generatetags

As we have mentioned, we are using this API for quite a long time but it seems that starting from the 31st of August something was changed in the required permissions and now this API requires permissions for viewing floodlights.

Could you please confirm the above permissions are now required for generating tags? if so, is there any forum/blog/release notes we can follow in order to be aware of such changes?

Thanks,

Ariel.

Hi Ariel,

Thank you for your patience.

As, a workaround you can apply full floodlight permission to avoid this issue for now. We will keep you informed as soon as we have any updates regarding this issue.
