We updated our GAMAdv install to GAM 7 using the copy / replace method.
We see there are several additional API scopes available that Check Service account shows as failed.
What is the process to get these enabled and passing?

gam user us...@domain.com update serviceaccount

Select the new scopes if not already selected

The API scopes don't have to be added to the GCP project for GAM first?

Sorry, I don't mean to be obtuse, I just want to make sure we do it correctly.
We do GAM update project to get the APIs added to the project, then do GAM someuseracct at domain.com to get the options to enable the new scopes.  Is that correct?
If we have our GCP team add the scopes before hand does this create an issue?
Also, do the Oauth credentials have to be recreated?

If new APIs get added either by gam update project or by the GCP team, do the following
and enable any new APIs that you want to access.
gam oauth create
gam user us...@domain.com update serviceaccount

We ran gam update project, then we ran gam oauth create.
These particular scopes do not show in the selection list.
How do we get them to show?

Those are serviceaccount scopes, do: gam user us...@domain.com update serviceaccount

Does it matter what user we use in that command?

And do we run that before Oauth create?

So when we run OAuth Create, we do not see those scopes listed to choose nor do we see them added in the Google Authentication popup.
Is this normal?

gam oauth create deals with client access scopes,things a super admin does.
gam user us...@domain.com update serviceaccount deals with serviceaccount scopes, things done on behalf of a user.

They are two separate workds.

Thank you,

With the information in your answers I was able to figure out the steps necessary to do what we were wanting.
