The service account is manually created, and its key JSON file is downloaded from Google Workspace and entered into the Summit Application. If someone gets access to the service account key with domain-wide delegation, they can access any IMAP account in the workspace, posing a serious security risk.

As an enhancement, the administrator should be able to click on the Parser admin screen to automatically generate the service account key, which is then securely transmitted and stored in the Application, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

This feature is supported in Tahoe SP3 HF26 B006.
