Hi! I just realized that neither the adwords api(v201809) nor the new googleads api(v3) include the owner account id in the shared set model <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/SharedSetService.SharedSet> . The shared set report <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/shared-set-report> also does not include the true owner account id, the externalCustomerId attribute <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/shared-set-report#externalcustomerid> seems to be populated with the customer id used for the request.
Querying available shared sets for an account(e.g. through the shared set service `Get` operation) indeed returns all available shared sets. However, some of those may be owned by a parent manager account, some of them may be owned by the account used for the request. There seems to be no way to know which is which, except perhaps through a process of elimination by going through the account hierarchy and noticing in which parent account a shared set becomes unavailable(implying it is owned by the account below). Is there a better way to know which account is the owner of a shared set? Why doesn't the shared set model include an `ownerAccountId` attribute? This information is necessary to mutate shared sets. For example, attempting to add keyword criteria to a negative keyword list using the wrong account(e.g. a child account of the MCC shared set owner account) will fail with a `EntityNotFound.INVALID_ID` error. Our application rely on this: we need to mutate shared sets, and we need to know which account is the true owner of a shared set.
