rejected by Facebook's Graph API

I am trying to test calls to Facebook's ads api using a whitelisted app that my company has registered. I've been added to our app as a developer, and also have the login for a marketing account. So using the graph api explorer tool, I select the whitelisted app, generate an access token, and make a simple POST request to /act_MYID/adcampaigns, which gives me this error: { "error": { "message": "(#10) User MYID does not have access to account MYID", "type": "OAuthException", "code": 10 } } umm... excuse me?? my account doesn't have access to my own account? sorry but wtf does that mean...

I've also tried replacing MYID with the marketing account id, same error but the 2nd MYID is replaced with marketing account id.

Could anyone please shed some light on this? Facebook's error documentation is shoddy and no luck searching for the error.

that error occurs usually when you're generating an access token while logged in with one account, and then trying to use the same access token with another account, so make sure you're using the same account (trivial, but sometimes these mistakes can happen).

if that checks out, verify that you're checking the ads_management checkbox in the extended permissions tab while generating the access token in the graph api.
