Problem with initial install #334

The issue tracker is for reporting product deficiencies. How do I questions should be posted to the discussion forum at https://groups.google.com/group/got-your-back. When in doubt, start at the discussion forum and return here only when instructed to do so.

Please confirm the following:

Full steps to reproduce the issue:

Expected outcome (what are you trying to do?): In the authorization, after project, I created a service account and then OAuth 2.0 Client IDs and provided that to the program. Then at the authorization part for backup in the page that I am required to access I choose account and then it requires an admin. I think I may have done something wrong. Now I have deleted the credentials and would like to repeat that part (not everything). Is it possible? If not what is the required procedure?

Actual outcome (what errors or bad behavior do you see instead?):

Service account setup is for Google Workspace admins only. If you're using GYB for @gmail.com accounts don't follow those steps. If you need help, use the mailing list, not the issue tracker please:
