Can I Authorize My Connection Using a Google Service Account?

Question

Can I authorize my connection using a Google service account?

Environment

The following connectors:

• Google Ad Manager
• Google Ads

Answer

No, it's not possible to authorize your connection using a service account. To securely access your data through the Google API, you must authorize the connection using OAuth authorization, which service accounts don't support.

You must authorize your connection using a Google user account. For more information, see the relevant connector setup guide.
