Hey, I'm attempting to create Google Ads campaigns via the Google Ads API on a test account (123-456-7890) linked to a manager account (111-111-1111).
*The Problem:* I am getting "OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT" and "NOT_ADS_USER". I followed the directions here <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/get-started/common-errors> for the not_ads_user problem by generating OAuth credentials using the manager account. Campaign creation requests fail with OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT and NOT_ADS_USER with the message: "The Google account (@gmail.com user) that generated the OAuth access tokens is not associated with any Ads accounts. Create a new account, or add the Google account to an existing Ads account." Both the test account and manager account were created using the same email. Additional Context: - I tried to create a campaign manually but it says i have no account. - I went to create a child account under the test account, but it said I had no billing. - When attempting to access billing settings on the test account, we get a permission error saying:"Your account's access level doesn't include billing information" - The exact email ([email protected]) used to generate the OAuth token is shown in the test account's settings. - The Google Ads API documentation lacks clarity on whether test accounts require billing for API writes, or if there's a specific configuration needed for OAuth tokens on child test accounts. *Question:* Is this a billing issue, a misconfiguration with the OAuth/account linkage, or a limitation of test accounts? What's the proper setup for API campaign creation on test accounts? -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum" group.
