Description
Hey folks! I'm using a service account as auth for a backend service. As a part of this, I need to assume the identity of another user. The Python equivalent of this w/ the official sdk is:
# Load Google Drive service account credentials
sa_json = json.loads(os.getenv("GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON"))
_c = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_info(
sa_json,
scopes=["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive"],
)
google_creds = _c.with_subject("another_email@service.com")
Wondering if you guys have thoughts on achieving something similar w/ the library
