- All - Recommended for Google to Google
- Standard
- SourceLimited
- DestinationLimited
- Vault

- You’ll be prompted to continue the process by navigating to a URL to Configure OAuth Consent. Do not close PowerShell.
- On the OAuth consent page, set the User Type to Internal and select Create.
- Set the App name to CloudM Migrate, and add a User Support email and a Developer Contact email address.
- Navigate to Security > API Controls > Domain-wide Delegation page, select Add New.
- The PowerShell script will have output the ClientID and OAuth Scopes to copy and paste in the Add New dialog.
- Select Authorize.
