To add service account credentials to the Google Admin console:
  1. In the Google Admin console, go to Security > Advanced settings > Manage API client access. You may need to click show more to see Advanced settings.
  2. Set the following options:
    1. For the Client Name option, add the client ID from the service account credentials.
    2. For the API Scopes option, add the following string: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.orgunit.readonly,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user.readonly
    3. The API scopes are case-sensitive and must be lowercase. You may need to copy the string into a text editor and remove spaces created by words wrapping to the second line in the PDF.
