Reduce an over-broad delegation grant safely
Find out which scopes your automation genuinely uses, then cut the grant down to them.
| Who it is for | Anyone who authorised full access years ago to get something working. |
|---|---|
| APIs | Gmail API, Drive API, Admin SDK |
| Typical scopes | varies |
The problem
Most grants are far broader than the work requires, usually because full access was the quickest way past an error during setup. That breadth is permanent risk.
How it works
- Inventory the calls your automation actually makes.
- Map each to the narrowest scope that permits it.
- Test the reduced set against a copy of the workload before changing the grant.
- Update the grant in every tenant and re-run the health check.
What changes
The same functionality with materially less exposure, and a documented reason for every scope.
Questions people ask
Is full mail access ever justified?
Only when you genuinely need permanent delete. Most jobs described as needing it actually need read plus modify.
Want this built?
This is a pattern we run in production. We will set up the delegation and build this on top of it — $500 per hour, most of it working the same day.
