Service Accounts: JSON Web Token (JWT) Profile for OAuth 2.0
This module implements the JWT Profile for OAuth 2.0 Authorization Grants as defined by RFC 7523 with particular support for how this RFC is implemented in Google’s infrastructure. Google refers to these credentials as Service Accounts.
Service accounts are used for server-to-server communication, such as interactions between a web application server and a Google service. The service account belongs to your application instead of to an individual end user. In contrast to other OAuth 2.0 profiles, no users are involved and your application “acts” as the service account.
Typically an application uses a service account when the application uses Google APIs to work with its own data rather than a user’s data. For example, an application that uses Google Cloud Datastore for data persistence would use a service account to authenticate its calls to the Google Cloud Datastore API. However, an application that needs to access a user’s Drive documents would use the normal OAuth 2.0 profile.
Additionally, Google Apps domain administrators can grant service accounts domain-wide delegation authority to access user data on behalf of users in the domain.
This profile uses a JWT to acquire an OAuth 2.0 access token. The JWT is used in place of the usual authorization token returned during the standard OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code grant. The JWT is only used for this purpose, as the acquired access token is used as the bearer token when making requests using these credentials.
This profile differs from normal OAuth 2.0 profile because no user consent step is required. The use of the private key allows this profile to assert identity directly.
This profile also differs from the google.auth.jwt authentication because the JWT credentials use the JWT directly as the bearer token. This profile instead only uses the JWT to obtain an OAuth 2.0 access token. The obtained OAuth 2.0 access token is used as the bearer token.
Domain-wide delegation allows a service account to access user data on behalf of any user in a Google Apps domain without consent from the user. For example, an application that uses the Google Calendar API to add events to the calendars of all users in a Google Apps domain would use a service account to access the Google Calendar API on behalf of users.
The Google Apps administrator must explicitly authorize the service account to do this. This authorization step is referred to as “delegating domain-wide authority” to a service account.
You can use domain-wise delegation by creating a set of credentials with a specific subject using with_subject().

Service account credentials
Usually, you’ll create these credentials with one of the helper constructors. To create credentials using a Google service account private key JSON file:
credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
'service-account.json')
Or if you already have the service account file loaded:
service_account_info = json.load(open('service_account.json'))
credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_info(
service_account_info)
Both helper methods pass on arguments to the constructor, so you can specify additional scopes and a subject if necessary:
credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
'service-account.json',
scopes=['email'],
subject='user@example.com')
The credentials are considered immutable. If you want to modify the scopes or the subject used for delegation, use with_scopes() or with_subject():
scoped_credentials = credentials.with_scopes(['email']) delegated_credentials = credentials.with_subject(subject)
To add a quota project, use with_quota_project():
credentials = credentials.with_quota_project('myproject-123')

service_account_email (str) – The service account’s email.

Open ID Connect ID Token-based service account credentials.
These credentials are largely similar to Credentials, but instead of using an OAuth 2.0 Access Token as the bearer token, they use an Open ID Connect ID Token as the bearer token. These credentials are useful when communicating to services that require ID Tokens and can not accept access tokens.
Usually, you’ll create these credentials with one of the helper constructors. To create credentials using a Google service account private key JSON file:
credentials = (
service_account.IDTokenCredentials.from_service_account_file(
'service-account.json'))
Or if you already have the service account file loaded:
service_account_info = json.load(open('service_account.json'))
credentials = (
service_account.IDTokenCredentials.from_service_account_info(
service_account_info))
Both helper methods pass on arguments to the constructor, so you can specify additional scopes and a subject if necessary:
credentials = (
service_account.IDTokenCredentials.from_service_account_file(
'service-account.json',
scopes=['email'],
subject='user@example.com'))
