I'm seeing this as well - Installed GYB today so using a very recent version

I was able to work around this by using this article and taking information from the URL for the clientid and scopes

[janiececald]

I figured it out, the beginning of the link should read this "https://admin.google.com/ac/owl/domainwidedelegation?clientScopeToAdd= https://admin.google.com/ac/owl/domainwidedelegation?clientScopeToAdd=“

NOT :"https://admin.google.com/yourdomain.com/ManageOauthClients?clientScopeToAdd= https://admin.google.com/b8ta.com/ManageOauthClients?clientScopeToAdd=https://mail.google.com/,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/apps.groups.migration,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email&clientNameToAdd=116276825312893539343"

So this can only be done by the domain administrator account? I can't get access to this page.

Correct, if you are not the admin you cannot use service account authentication. That's by Google design, only admins have ability to authorize the service account and backup/restore mail data of other users.

You should just use the normal authentication as your own user.

I'm just following the instructions in the program. There doesn't appear to be anything I need to change in case I'm a normal user.

Sorry - to be clearer, I'm just an ordinary user (within a Google Workspace domain) trying to export my data out. I don't have any admin privileges. I followed the instructions and got to the screen shown by @janiececald but cannot access that admin page.

I'm not clear on what the "the normal authentication as your own user" is supposed to be.

You mean I should just use Takeout, or something else? I have the Takeout MBOX file. Will GAM be compatible with that?
