User Impersonation tokens

Google Service Accounts allow you to retrieve access tokens for any user in a G Suite / Google Workspace account with user impersonation. To get tokens for a specific user, use the provider_user_id query parameter in the Get User Connection API call. See Retrieve user tokens for more information.
