So we have google login on the website, which is part of the CMS. CMS is hooked up to ActiveDirectory which has GoogleADSync installed.

Our admins are having to make accounts in AD, and on Google, and I want to fix this because it seems beyond cumbersome.

The API seems slick but how do I actually AUTHENTICATE so I can call those endpoints? Other services we use have just an API key to throw into the headers, but the Workspace auth docs seem pretty... heavy. Or is it as simple as using the existing API key we've generated for the website authentication (or make a new key over there in the google console?).

Any help would be great because it seems daunting atm.

    You should check [`Service Account usage`](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/service-account) documentation as this is a way to authenticate without providing user content, if you are planning on using the Admin SDK to create users then this is a good way to place hands on in Google APIs, otherwise you will need to do regular authentication using [Oauth2](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2). – Gabriel Carballo Sep 06 '22 at 17:14
