Google Console for Brand Accounts / Getting the OAuth 2.0 Client Secret for Youtube Brand Account?

Question

Question Is there a way to access the google console of a brand account? I can get a refresh token and the client_id via oauth playground, but I still need to get the client secret to auth on behalf of the brand account.

Use case / Backstory I'm utilizing the youtube api to automate uploading user submitted content. Everything works fine, and so far so good.

I've now reached the point where I want to give other people access to this account which can only be done with a brand account. As such, I need to upload to a channel controlled by the brand account.

Oops, miss conception on my part -- you don't need to use the brand account's client_id and secret. You can use your own account's oauth details as long as you explicitly pass them in while creating the refresh token.
