Hi John, The error NOT_ADS_USER <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/common-errors#AuthenticationError.NOT_ADS_USER> means that the credentials used for authorizing the API call do not belong to a user who has an AdWords account. Could you confirm if you followed all the steps listed <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/authentication#oauth2_service_accounts> in the guide? Also, note that you need to specify the service account email id and the actual path to the key file as described in this <https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/wiki/API-access-using-own-credentials-(server-to-server-flow)> guide.
Is there a specific reason why you are trying to use the OAuth setup using service accounts? We recommend this approach only if you need domain specific features like impersonation. In all other cases we strongly recommend using installed app or web flows <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/authentication#determine_your_app_type>. If you are concerned about manually accepting the prompt while setting up OAuth, please note that it is a one time operation. Once the prompt is accepted, no manual intervention is required. By saving the refresh token, you can make your code renew the access token for every subsequent API calls.
