Hi, On all services except CustomerService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/CustomerService>, you must specify which account you want each API request to act upon by setting the clientCustomerId <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/soap#clientCustomerId> SOAP header. On CustomerService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/CustomerService>, that header is optional (see below).
To get the list of all accounts under an MCC you can use ManagedCustomerService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/ManagedCustomerService>. The .NET client library's GetAccountHierarchy.cs <https://github.com/googleads/googleads-dotnet-lib/blob/master/examples/AdWords/CSharp/v201409/AccountManagement/GetAccountHierarchy.cs> contains an example of how to do this. To determine the type of customer, simply set the *clientCustomerId* header on a CustomerService.get <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/CustomerService#get> request, and then check the canManageClients <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/CustomerService.Customer#canManageClients> field, which will be *true* for an MCC, and *false* for a regular AdWords account. Note that if you do not specify *clientCustomerId* on a *CustomerService* call, it will simply return a *Customer* object that reflects the MCC or AdWords account associated with the request's OAuth credentials.
