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!
