Credentials are used to obtain an access token from Google's authorization
servers so your app can call Google Workspace APIs. For
Google Workspace APIs, you can manage OAuth 2.0 and service account
credentials.
View credentials
To see a list of credentials enabled for all Google Workspace APIs or an
individual Google Workspace API, do the following:
In the Google Cloud console, click Menu
menu>More products>Google Workspace>Credentials.
To select an individual Google Workspace API, click All Google
Workspace APIs, then select an API.
Edit credentials
After you create credentials, you can edit some aspects of a credential. For
example, for OAuth 2.0 client IDs, you can edit the name that is shown in
theGoogle Cloud console or reset the client secret. For service accounts, you
can edit the name and description.
In the Google Cloud console, click Menu
menu>More products>Google Workspace>Credentials.
Copy the secret and update the application with this value.
Turn off a service account
When you turn off a service account, applications no longer have access to the
Google Cloud resources through that service account. If you turn off a service
account, you can turn it back on later.
In the Google Cloud console, click Menu
menu>More products>Google Workspace>Credentials.
Click Disable service account and then click Disable.
Delete a client ID or service account
When you delete a client ID or a service account, applications no longer have
access to the Google Cloud Resources through that client ID or service
account. If you delete a client ID or service account, this deletion is
permanent and the credentials can't be restored.
In the Google Cloud console, click Menu
menu>More products>Google Workspace>Credentials.
