Name of API affected:
Analytics Data Export API

Request summary:
Limit the Dimensions and Metrics from the URL of Authorization request. An
application that request access to an user google analytics feed to have
the possibility to add a set of metrics and dimensions that will restrict
its access to data. 

Use Cases:
We will use this feature to restrict our application access to dimensions
and metrics form the start (by example: D1+M1). The users that use our
application will know that it reads only a specified subset of data, and
this way they will trust it doesn't reads other metrics (like D2. Campaign
ga:keyword, or others they don't want to share)

The AuthSub request URL will have another parameter like: subset=D1+M1
https://www.google.com/accounts/AuthSubRequest?      
      &next=http://www.example.com/myApplicationPage.html
      &scope=https://www.google.com/analytics/feeds/
      &secure=0
      &session=1
      &subset=D1+M1

This feature will increase the trust of google analytics users in sharing 
data (or subset of data) from their accounts to third party applications
that use GA Data Export API.
