Google Directory API call permission not enough for node client
My purpose:
Get access to organisation directory information through api calls.
Problem:
OAuth was handled by node google.auth.oauth2 client running on Firebase functions. Exact credentials and api tokens stored on firebase database and pulled when needed. When I try to make the api call like so:
import { google } from 'googleapis';
const oauth2Client = new google.auth.OAuth2(
// app credential pulled from database
CLIENT_ID,
CLIENT_SECRET,
REDIRECT_URL
);
const auth = {
// Following parameters obtained from oauth response
access_token: ACCESS_TOKEN,
refresh_token: REFRESH_TOKEN,
scope: SCOPE,
token_type: 'Bearer'
expiry_date: EXPIRY_DATE
};
oauth2Client.setCredentials(auth);
const service = google.admin({version: 'directory_v1'})._options.auth = oauth2Client;
const userList = await service.users.list({
auth: oauth2Client, //probably not needed
domain: 'example.com' //my actual domain
});
Here this users.list() call will fail saying I don't have enough permission.
Other attempts:
The 'try this api' thing in google directory Api home page works fine, api calls made by the google oauth2 playground however, does not work.
The difference seems to be a ?key=SOMETHING parameter that the directory api tryout is adding to the http request. If the same http request is made in the playground, with the same bearer token from directory api calls, and the copy pasted key string, it will work fine. Seems that the key and the token are related to each other, (so probably generated from the token somehow?).
Help appreciated :)
