It doesn't have that level of granularity, just four auth scopes:

1) Full access to the account

2) Do everything but permanent deletes of threads and messages

3) Read everything, but no write access

4) Create/read/update/delete drafts and send messages/drafts, but no access to anything else

Finer-grained access (especially for reads, but there are some use cases for finer-grained sending controls, too) would be better, but this is, AFAIK, a step ahead of any other email API.

I immediately checked for that level of scope when they announced it, my post was merely a "this would be pretty amazing for security conscious end-users" not "this part of the API is cool" -- a wishlist item have you.
