Hi,

and the question is of course how you checked that.
As far as I know, given a customer_id, the API offers no method to find out
the managers of that account.
The way to go is to run "customer_client" report of the intended manager -
in your case, manager A. For instance
SELECT
customer_client.status,
customer_client.id
FROM customer_client
WHERE customer_client.id = b
Run this under manager A, then check whether something is returned. Note:
In v9 field 'status' does not exist and the report only lists active
accounts. (And yes, that may explain why your check failed: the account
wasn't active... From v10 on, disabled accounts are also returned.)
A different approach is just to ask a report (any report!) for that account
with LoginCustomerId set to the intended manager - in your case that would
be A. When you get an error, check the error: if it came because of no
access then you can send the link request.
