Is there a way to set up hidden app-level google drive authentication?

I’m successfully using Google Drive using OAuth 2.0 Authentication. This seems to require the user to enter in credentials in the browser. Although this works great for one client. I have a client where we want to use one google login for the entire app and not have individual credentials for each user. We don’t want to give the user the app-level credentials. Is there a way to do this? Thank you in advance.

What you are talking about is usually supported by the “Client Credential” OAuth grant type. Skuid allows for configuring the authorization provider using this method. But I don’t know if the Google Drive API supports it. 10 minutes of googling did not clarify things too much on the Google side.

Here is a screenshot of the Skuid Data Source Authentication configuration…
