This guide contains all permissions and requirements for connecting your Amazon Ads data to Supermetrics.
Availability
Amazon Ads is available only in Excel and our data warehouse and API data destinations.
You can connect to data sources from the Data sources page on the Supermetrics Hub. On the Hub, you can also share an authentication link to connect to a data source you don't have direct access to.
After you connect to the data source on the Hub, you can use the data source connection in the available destinations.
Required permissions
To connect to Amazon Ads, you need an Amazon user account that has access to an ad account.
- If using a manager account to access a linked ad account, the Amazon user account needs to be an Admin in the manager account, and the manager account needs at least Editor permissions to the linked ad account.
- If the Amazon user account has direct access to the ad account, the Amazon user account needs at least Editor permissions.
- If using granular permissions in either case, the user/manager account must have view permissions to both Advertising reports and Campaign manager options.
Note that Agency profiles are not supported. For Agency profiles, use the Amazon DSP data source connector instead.
