+#### Domain-Wide Delegation (DWD)
+
+To access user data (Gmail, Calendar, etc.) via a service account with
+[domain-wide delegation](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/service-account#delegatingauthority),
+set the impersonated user:
+
+```bash
+export GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_CREDENTIALS_FILE=/path/to/service-account.json
+export GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_IMPERSONATED_USER=user@example.com
+gws gmail users messages list --params '{"userId": "me"}'
+```
+
+> **Note:** Without `GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CLI_IMPERSONATED_USER`, service accounts
+> can only access their own resources. User-scoped APIs like Gmail and Calendar
+> require impersonation via DWD.
+
 ### Pre-obtained Access Token
 
 Useful when another tool (e.g. `gcloud`) already mints tokens for your environment.
