Setup authentication.
Authentication Setup:
There is a new Service Account that is created only for the Google actions, which is separate from the service account used for Google Drive connector. The Client ID for this new service account for you should be visible in the Google actions setup instructions.
Google’s DWD allows Glean to act on behalf of the logged-in Glean user to create documents/sheets or emails. Only the 2 scopes limited to creating new documents/sheets and drafting new emails are to be added here.
Documents are created on behalf of the logged-in Glean user, stored in the user’s drive and respect the default org settings for a new document (generally this is: create with Restricted access, only visible to the user/creator of the document)
Setup Instructions
Go to the Domain-wide Delegation section in Google Admin Console. You’ll need to be signed in as an admin.
