Granting access for Bing Ads/Microsoft Ads accounts

Authentication to a Bing Ads/Microsoft Ads account can be carried out using Microsoft’s work account authentication method. If this method is selected, the Azure Active Directory admin of your company needs to authorize Windsor.ai access beforehand. The admin should be invited to the Microsoft Ads account to provide the necessary permissions.

During the permission grant process, Azure Active Directory admins have the option to check the “Grant permissions on behalf of your organization” box. If this option is checked, all users of Microsoft Ads within their domain will be able to provide access to Windsor.ai without needing further administrative approval.

For additional details on work accounts and permissions for Azure Active Directory admins, visit the Microsoft documentation.

To enable Windsor.ai to access the Microsoft Ads API, register your application and configure the Redirect URL as https://onboard.windsor.ai/.

If you are getting an error similar to:

Error authenticating to Bing Ads: AADSTS650052: The app needs access to a service (‘https://ads.microsoft.com’) that your organization ‘your-domain’ has not subscribed to or enabled. Contact your IT Admin to review the configuration of your service subscriptions.

This means that your Microsoft admin restricts third-party tools access. In that case, you need to check with your IT Admin.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you can resolve common Bing Ads/Microsoft Ads authentication errors and ensure a stable connection between Windsor.ai and your data sources.
