To run all commands properly, GAMADV-XTD3 requires three things:
- An API project which identifies your install of GAMADV-XTD3 to Google and keeps track of API quotas.
- Authorization to act as your G Suite Administrator in order to perform management functions like add users, modify group settings and membership and pull domain reports.
- A special service account that is authorized to act on behalf of your users in order to modify user-specific settings and data such as Drive files, Calendars and Gmail messages and settings like signatures.
