I had the exact same problem - NOT_ADS_USER
If you indeed completed all the prerequisites
<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/oauth/service-accounts#prerequisites>
and
the succeeding steps
<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/oauth/service-accounts#setting_up_service_account_access>,
including this section
<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/oauth/service-accounts#granting_impersonation_abilities>,
and still have the error -
the problem might be that you are creating the access_token in the wrong
way. Try using this code (it's in nodejs but easily applied in all
languages)
*const private_key = require('./key.json').private_key;*
*const token = jwt.sign(*
*{*
*iss:*
*SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL,*
*sub: GOOGLE_MMC_MANAGER_EMAIL,*
*scope: 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords
<https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords>',*
*aud: 'https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token
<https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token>',*
*exp: Math.round(Date.now() / 1000) + 3600,*
*iat: Math.round(Date.now() / 1000),*
*},*
*private_key,*
*{ algorithm: 'RS256' },*
*);*
*// console.log(token);*
*try {*
*const response = await http.post
<http://http.post/>('https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token
<https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token>', {*
*grant_type: 'urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer',*
*assertion: token,*
*});*
*const access_token = response.data;*
*console.log(access_token);*
*} catch (error) {*
*console.log(error.data);*
*}*
*};*
*// Make an authorized request with the access_token*
hope it will help as it helped me
