* **calendar.readonly** Allows the app to read events in your Google Calendar.
* **gmail.readonly** Allows the app to read email in your Gmail mailbox.
* **gmail.send** Allows the app to send mail as you.
* **userinfo.email** Allows the app to read your primary email address.
* **openid** Allows the app to verify your identity and authenticate your sign-in to Affinity.
