UpdateClientLinks Service Operation - Customer Management
Updates the status of the specified client links.
Note
Only a user with Super Admin or Standard credentials can add, update, and search for client links to advertiser accounts. Only a user with Super Admin credentials can add, update, and search for client links to customers. For more information, see the User Roles technical guide.
If your user is within an agency, then the operation may be used to update the client link status of any account that you manage or have invited to manage.
If your user is within a client customer that has one or more accounts managed or invited to be managed by an agency, then you may only use this operation to update the status as LinkAccepted or LinkDeclined. A client may also accept or decline the link request via the Microsoft Advertising web application.
Tip
For more information about the client link lifecycle, see the Account Hierarchy technical guide. For more information about becoming an agency, see the Resources for agency partners. For more information from a client's perspective, see How to have an agency manage your Microsoft Advertising account.
