Audit third-party app access with a delegated account
Use a service account to programmatically review which third-party apps have access to Workspace data across tenants.
| Who it is for | Workspace admins responsible for application security across multiple domains. |
|---|---|
| APIs | Admin SDK |
| Typical scopes | admin.directory.user.security |
The problem
Third-party OAuth apps can access sensitive Workspace data, but admins rarely have complete or up-to-date visibility. Manual checks quickly become out of date, and attacks often exploit forgotten grants.
How it works
- Delegate a service account with the required security audit scope.
- List all users in each tenant with the Admin SDK.
- For each user, retrieve their installed OAuth apps and the scopes granted.
- Aggregate and export the findings for review and action.
What changes
You get a current inventory of all third-party app access, making it possible to spot risky or unauthorised integrations before they cause harm.
Questions people ask
How often should this review run?
Monthly is typical, but after any incident or major onboarding is recommended. Automating to a schedule catches drift.
Can this revoke app access automatically?
Yes, but do so carefully. Revoking tokens can break workflows for end users, so always notify and coordinate before bulk removals.
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.
