Hello, I am using the gapi library and using the grantOfflineAccess() method to get an authorization scope for a user. I plan on using this code to get an authorization code which would then be used to make calls to google ads api on a backend server. I am requesting in my script 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords' scope only. In my Google developers console I only have 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords' selected as my oauth consent screen scopes. However when the user logs in and approves permissions they are being asked for these permissions:
  • View users on your domain
  • See and download your contacts
  • Manage your Adwords campaigns

Are these first two extra permissions related to adwords scope? Is there a hidden area where these extra scopes are being requested? I don't think I need them.

Hello, 

I am having. similar issue. Did you figure out which permissions it was including and why?

Kindly,

Hi everyone,

@Vanessa, it appears that our colleague has responded on a separate thread (grantOfflineAccess Necessary Scopes) that you opened. The post was deleted but our team was still able to respond. For further clarifications and better tracking, we can continue discussions on that thread instead.

As for the original post, are these options displayed in the UI / consent screen? If yes, then the more appropriate team to provide guidance related to these items should be the Google API Console support team, which you can reach out to via this link. I hope this helps.

Best regards,
