About authorization protocols


Authorizing requests with OAuth 2.0

All requests to the G Suite Admin Settings API must be authorized by an authenticated user.


  1. When you create your application, you register it using the Google API Console. Google then provides information you'll need later, such as a client ID and a client secret.
  2. Activate the G Suite Admin Settings API in the Google API Console. (If the API isn't listed in the API Console, then skip this step.)


Here's the OAuth 2.0 scope information for the G Suite Admin Settings API:
