UpdateAccount Service Operation - Customer Management

Updates the details of the specified account.

Note

Only a user with Super Admin or Standard credentials can update accounts. For more information, see the User Roles technical guide.

Because the update operation requires the time stamp of the most recent account write operation, you must first call the GetAccount operation. The GetAccount operation returns the account's data, which includes the time stamp. The update call will fail if you use an old time stamp e.g., the account data is updated by your application or another application after you obtained the time stamp.

Because the update operation completely overwrites the existing account data, the account data must contain all required data; otherwise, the operation will fail.

Request Elements

The UpdateAccountRequest object defines the body and header elements of the service operation request. The elements must be in the same order as shown in the Request SOAP.

Note

Unless otherwise noted below, all request elements are required.

Request Body Elements

Element Description Data Type
Account An AdvertiserAccount object that contains the updated account information.

This operation overwrites the existing account data with the contents of the account object that you pass. This operation performs a full update, and not a partial update. The Account object must contain the time stamp value from the last time that the Account object was written to. To ensure that the time stamp contains the correct value, call the GetAccount operation. You can then update the account data as appropriate, and call UpdateAccount.
AdvertiserAccount
