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.
