We are an IT team. We have a client with a production Manager account with many sub-accounts. We are implementing some features related to the Campaigns Creation on the Google Ads side. We have a dev & prod environments. For dev environment we've setup a "prod-like" Google Ads Manager account (to grab a developer token) and Test Manager Account (where we test all the features, like campaigns creating, sub accounts creating etc.). So, there are 3 manager accounts in our context: 1. Client's production manager account 2. Our own "prod-like" manager account (where we grab a developer token) 3. Our own Test Manager Account
The deal is now we are implementing the feature related to the Business Names & Logos. As we understand, on the Google Ads side we can specify Business Names & Logos only for verified accounts. But, because Test Manager Account doesn't have a Billing information, it can't be verified, so Business Names & Logos feature can't be tested on the Test Manager Account. So, we have 2 options: 1. Skip implementing & testing this feature on our dev environment and only do this on prod environment (not really a good solution) 2. Use our own "prod-like" manager account in dev instead of Test Manager Account in dev environment. But the deal is, for the second option (Use our own "prod-like" manager account in dev), we have a restriction, that we can create sub-accounts only after linking an account which has spent more than $1000 already. If we follow this, we have 2 options: 1. Link one of the client's prod sub-accounts 2. Link the client's prod manager account Now I'm wondering, which option is better. We want to setup the most safe option, so the production accounts can't be changed, modified, deleted by mistake. Please, advice how should we act in this case by answering on this questions: 1. Am I correct about the Google Ads rules and policies above? 2. If we link one of the client's prod sub-accounts to our "prod-like" account, can we somehow disable usage of that sub-account in our "prod-like" to not accidently do bad things via UI and APIs? 3. If we link the entire client's manager account, can we somehow disable usage of that linked manager account in our "prod-like" manger account to not accidently do bad things via UI and APIs? -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum" group.
