Delegating domain-wide authority allows an application to access data on behalf of a group of users.
Perform the following steps to enable the domain-wide delegation to your service account.
- Select your service account that you created in the preceding step.
A new page appears containing the details of your service account. - Select the Enable Google Workspace domain-wide delegation check box.
- From the Client ID field, copy the client ID.
- Click SAVE.
When you enable domain-wide delegation to your service account, you give that account permission to perform necessary administrative tasks, such as managing groups, editing user accounts, and changing passwords on a domain-wide basis.
