List Accessible Accounts

You can list customers accessible to you with the ListAccessibleCustomers method in CustomerService. However, it is necessary to understand which customers are returned in this type of request.

Listing accessible customers is one of the few requests in the Search Ads 360 Reporting API that does not require you to specify a customer ID in the request, and will ignore any supplied login-customer-id.

The resulting list of customers is based on your OAuth credentials. The request returns a list of all accounts that you are able to act upon directly given your current credentials. This will not necessarily include all accounts within the account hierarchy; rather, it will only include accounts where your authenticated user has been added with admin or other rights in the account.

Imagine you are user A who is an admin for M1 and C3 in the two hierarchies pictured above. If you were to make a call to the Search Ads 360 Reporting API, for example to SearchAds360Service, you could access information for accounts M1, C1, C2, and C3. However, a call to CustomerService.ListAccessibleCustomers would return only M1 and C3 since those are the only accounts where user A has direct access.

Here is a code example illustrating the use of the CustomerService.ListAccessibleCustomers method:
