Re: Problems with linking up multiple applications under one MCC

[Jeremy Aube]

I would also like to use the structure that Nate describes, but can't due 
to the fact that the interface does not allow me to nest the Test MCC under 
the main production MCC. Is there anything in the works to resolve this or 
should we assume that we'll need to maintain two sets of credentials to 
access both MCCs?

Re: Problems with linking up multiple applications under one MCC

[Takeshi Hagikura (AdWords API Team)]

Hi, 

AuthorizationError:USER_PERMISSION_DENIED doesn't have nothing to do with 
what developer token you are using. 

What credential you used matters (production MCC account, or test MCC 
account). 

If you authenticated with your production MCC account, and your requests 
was made against the client test account, it's a normal behavior. 
If you target a test account, you need to authenticate with the test MCC 
account (under which there is the client test account).

Re: Problems with linking up multiple applications under one MCC

[developer]

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but the whole point of my question 
stems from the "Test Accounts" section of the API docs:
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/test-accounts

Under "Getting Started" it states that you need to use a *production* mcc 
account Developer Token when making service calls (even to test accounts in 
test mcc).
However, when I try to use a production token from a different account to 
call a test account in a SOAP call, I get 
AuthorizationError:USER_PERMISSION_DENIED.

Why? Is there something I need to do to associate the test account with the 
production account? Since I am using OAuth credentials associated with the 
user from the test account and the production developer key, I assume there 
is something I need to do to associate them. I am able to authenticate via 
OAuth2 fine, but any API service calls I make return the user perm denied 
error.

Thanks
Mike

Re: Problems with linking up multiple applications under one MCC

[Takeshi Hagikura (AdWords API Team)]

Hi Nate,

If you need to access both campaigns with the same credential (MAIN 
PRODUCTION MCC ACCOUNT in that case), the structure looks right to me. 

As for the test accounts, now you can create a test MCC on your own (please 
see the 
blog
).
I recommend to create a separate MCC from the production MCC account. 
It's easier to manage.

Problems with linking up multiple applications under one MCC

[Nate Fischer]

Hi All, 

I've been trying to sort this out for 2 days now and haven't come to the 
correct solution, any help would be greatly appreciated! 

My situation:  I have 2 companies in a similar space (the component 
industry, but separate entities entirely).  Both of these companies have 
large databases of inventory connected to their respective web application 
that I would like to link up to the AdWords API to programatically add  
keywords/campaigns.  From what I have gathered so far talking AdWords 
support my account structure needs to look like this: 


 
MAIN PRODUCTION MCC ACCOUNT

   /   
\\
 
 / 
\\ 

 
/   \\ 


/Entity #1   Entity #2

   
/ campaign   campaign

   
TEST MCC 

   /   \ 

  / \ 

 /   \

 
Test 1Test 2

 
campaign   campaign


Is this the correct structure that I should be trying to get set up or am I 
going about this incorrectly?  I assume I need the test account/keys to 
develop in a 'sandbox' and then once everything is working switch the 
credentials to my production account but so far I have been completely 
unable to get a Test MCC linked underneath my production MCC.
