Hi, As a starting point I recommend reading the help center article on MCC accounts<https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2375468?hl=en&ref_topic=3121764>. However, you could set up your app to have access to client accounts that are not within your MCC structure. To do this you would use OAuth2<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/authentication#oauth2>to present the user with the opportunity to accept or decline your request for access, either indefinitely (using the *offline* access type) or for a specific period of time (using the *online* access type).
- If using the *offline* access type then you would need to store the refresh token associated with the client account so you would be able to obtain new access tokens without further intervention from the user. - If using the *online* access type then you would simply need to repeat the OAuth2 process when the auth token expired. The choice of whether to link client accounts to your MCC would have the following impact. - Linked - You could use an access token (and optionally a refresh token) from your MCC for *all* of your API requests across *all* child accounts linked to your MCC. In this scenario, the user would grant you access to their account through the account linking process<https://support.google.com/adwords/agency/answer/7732?hl=en&ref_topic=22067>. You could also perform certain account management operations using the *AdWords API*'s ManagedCustomerService<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201309/ManagedCustomerService> . - Not linked - You would need a separate access token (and optionally a refresh token) for each client account you want to access, as described above. Our client libraries<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/clientlibraries>contain many samples of OAuth2 to help get you started. Our blog post on OAuth2<http://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/2013/07/oauth2-in-ads-apis.html>also contains lots of helpful information, including a video overview and links to further resources. I think that covers your questions, but please post a reply if I've missed anything.
