Re: CustomerService in v201607

Hi Shwetha,

The documentation says something different from what you mentioned.  It says in this page:  https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/accounts-overview#customerservice

In v201605 and earlier, if no clientCustomerId is specified, then the response will contain a single entry for the authenticated account. You must specify a clientCustomerId when authenticating as a manager account to obtain info for a specific account.

Starting with v201607, if no clientCustomerId is specified, then the response will contain multiple entries if more than one account is directly accessible by the authenticated account. If you only want results for a single account, you must specify the clientCustomerId in your request.

So my question is, if we don't specify a customerId (which we can't if we just authenticated a new user and we don't know his Id), then we will get back multiple accounts.  How do we know which account is the root account?

Hi Oliver, 

If you do not specify a clientCustomerId in the request header, the getCustomers method will return the account details of the authenticated customer. If the canManageClients field is true in the returned Customer object, then the returned account is a Manager account. 

I hope this helps.
