Hello,

I've been struggling to integrate API Bidding Updates (Mutates) for 
Campaigns and AdGroups.

Library used: Google Ads API Python Client Library 
<https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-python>
Version: *21.2.0*

Currently, I've only managed to get working API Bidding Updates (Mutates) 
for Campaigns using TARGET_ROAS and TARGET_CPA, and for AdGroups using 
MANUAL_CPC, MANUAL_CPM and TARGET_CPM.

My goal is to be able to provide API Bidding Updates (Mutates) for all the 
available bidding strategies,  by using the Google Ads API Python Client 
Library <https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-python>. Important Note: 
The only type of Campaigns that we are interested in are *App Campaigns.*

Example of failed request (and response) for setting MANUAL_CPC for a 
Campaign:

}

The error  "The operation is not allowed for the given context." is quite 
generic and doesn't really provide any useful information to understand why 
this operation is not allowed. The exact same error is raised for all the 
other Bidding Strategies attempted.

Thank you!
