Class AccountService

The AccountService message represents a specific service that a provider account offers to a Merchant Center account.

AccountService defines the permissions and capabilities granted to the provider, allowing for operations such as product management or campaign management.

The lifecycle of an AccountService involves a proposal phase, where one party suggests the service, and an approval phase, where the other party accepts or rejects it. This handshake mechanism ensures mutual consent before any access is granted. This mechanism safeguards both parties by ensuring that access rights are granted appropriately and that both the business and provider are aware of the services enabled. In scenarios where a user is an admin of both accounts, the approval can happen automatically.

The mutability of a service is also managed through AccountService. Some services might be immutable, for example, if they were established through other systems or APIs, and you cannot alter them through this API.
