# Access Child Account Objects

To execute certain actions or view information related to a child account, use the permissions and roles assigned to a different user. You can also use impersonation to help another user and troubleshoot their problems or issues inside their own account. You need admin access to perform impersonation.

**note:** These examples are for agency or Enterprise 1.0 with Lock and Publish account types. For Enterprise 2.0 accounts, use the ClientIDs property on a retrieve request to specify multiple child accounts for a single call.

## Sample .NET Code

```csharp
//Options
deo.Client = new ClientID();
deo.Client.ID = Convert.ToInt32(txtMID.Text);
deo.Client.IDSpecified = true;
```

## Sample .NET Code - Retrieve Request with Impersonation

```csharp
RetrieveRequest rr = new RetrieveRequest();
rr.ObjectType = "Send";//required

ClientID rrclient = new ClientID();
rrclient.ID = 12345;
rrclient.IDSpecified = true;

RetrieveOptions ro = new RetrieveOptions();
ro.Client = rrclient;
rr.Options = ro;
```

## Sample SOAP Envelope

```xml
