Hi, Technically, the ManagedCustomerService will return results for any AdWords account that matches the selector (i.e. the authenticated account) as long as it is managed by an MCC account. This limitation will prevent the MCS from returning results for client accounts (even when authenticated) if this account is not managed by any MCC. For this reason, we recommend using the CustomerService if you are authenticating directly with a client account (which will always return results) or if you know the clientCustomerId and just want to get account information.
