append their scopes (e.g.,
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords). - Service Accounts: Ensure the Service Account has the
Service Usage ConsumerIAM role, and the user executinggcloudhas the Token Creator role (roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator) on that Service Account for impersonation.

Install Client & Utility Libraries
Refer to Install a client library for more details.
The companion utility libraries provide pre-built helper classes and functions to correctly format, hash, and encrypt user identifiers (such as emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses) prior to API ingestion. Use of these libraries is highly recommended to ensure that user identifier formatting matches the API's specifications.
