Takeshi, That is very weird. Through my own testing, I achieved read-only access. I basically linked my email account to my companies Adwords account and tried some api operations.
With my account set to Standard access, I was able to use the API to pull ads from a test campaign and then pause some to of the ads. When I set my account to read-only access, I could still use the API to get the ads from the test campaign, but when I tried to use the api to pause the ads, I would get a "forbidden" error code. The change in user access took a few minutes to propagate, but once it changed, I could consistently perform get operations but not mutate operations. Wondering if someone over there changed something in the infrastructure without updating the API team? -Jonathan On Monday, November 11, 2013 9:09:55 PM UTC-8, Takeshi Hagikura (AdWords API Team) wrote: > > Hi Jonathan, > > Apologies for the delayed response.
