    note: >-
      No OAuth. Authenticated by an api_secret query parameter minted per data stream
      in the Google Analytics UI.
granularity_note: >-
  Scopes are coarse. There is no per-property, per-resource or per-method scope: any
  token carrying analytics.readonly can read every property the underlying identity
  can reach, and analytics.edit can reconfigure all of them. Least-privilege for an
  agent has to be enforced by which Google identity it impersonates, not by which
  scope it holds.
