Summary

Unable to access Marketing API via Airbyte due to missing business_management permission. Question regarding the necessity of business_management permission and receiving ‘permission denied’ error.


Question

We are trying to access via airbyte and we are unable to do so.

What’s the problem?
The APP that I created that has access to the Marketing API does not have this permission and we are unable to bring in campaign data.

For them to connect with Airbyte (integration facilitator), I need the following permissions:

ads_read
read_insights
business_management```
We do not have just `business_management` access and this option does not appear for us. `business_management` is mandatory? We are receiving permission denied.

Airbyte Facebook Marketing version 1.4.2

These permissions listed have more to do with the app than the access token generation. I think your authentication error has another cause. Maybe double check the app is associated with the ad account you’re trying to fetch?

<@U04S4SND4N4> were you able to resolve this? I am facing the same issue

<@U051W79AD5Y> the business_management is not necessary for the app’s access token generator. Lacking permissions are most likely related to the ad account not being shared with the app.
