This document contains Google Vault API-specific authorization and
authentication information. Before reading this document, be sure to read the
Google Workspace's general authentication and authorization information at
Learn about authentication and authorization.
To define the level of access granted to your app, you need to identify and
declare authorization scopes. An authorization scope is an OAuth 2.0 URI string
that contains the Google Workspace app name, what kind of data it accesses, and
the level of access. Scopes are your app's requests to work with Google Workspace data, including
users' Google Account data.
When your app is installed, a user is asked to validate the scopes used
by the app. Generally, you should choose the most narrowly focused scope
possible and avoid requesting scopes that your app doesn't require. Users more
readily grant access to limited, clearly described scopes.
