We are creating a reporting tool for adwords accounts.  I have code that 
creates an invitation to a prospective client to allow access.  They can 
than accept it in their adwords account and we display campaign and adgroup 
metrics and segments.

This all works, but two things remain a mystery after a lot of searching:

We only need and want to display performance reports and are not "managing" 
the accounts.  I gather that is "read-only" access.  But there seems to be 
no way to request read-only.  When the client goes to accept the 
invitation, they see warnings saying that we will be able to alter their 
accounts on many ways.

>>> Is there a way to invite for read-only access?
>>> Is there a way for the client to accept but only for reporting 
(read-only)?

------------

Separately, I have seen third-party tools like ours that seems to be able 
to launch a window that allows the prospective clients to enter their 
credentials and grant access immediately.  But I see nothing in the API 
that would allow me to code such a method.
>>> Any ideas/help on this?

Thanks in advance for any help.
