Hello John, Based on the error, it looks like the email associated with the specified account has read-only access. You can apply for the API access with an Administrative access level. You may refer to this document <https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/1704346> for more information. The account with read-only access can only view, receive and run reports. They will not be able to edit or manage any part of the linked accounts. Let me know if you have any other questions.
