Thanks again Shwetha! Needing some clarification though. The guide about 
OAuth credentials you linked to talks mostly about Manager Accounts, but 
what if a user with a standard Adwords account has access to multiple 
Adwords accounts ? Let me explain with an example: 

Our tool currently asks users in the first step to link their Adwords 
account. When they confirm permission through OAuth, if it´s a Manager 
account we list the Accounts that the manager account has access to. That 
works perfectly, however, we would also like to allow users with Standard 
accounts to link multiple accounts they have access to. Does it work the 
same with Standard accounts as it does with manager accounts? Also, how can 
we identify if the access level that a certain user has over one of the 
accounts he has access to does not allow API access?

Thanks!
Ricardo
