We're using OAuth 2.0 to access Gmail Contacts. Do you know if it is possible to request access (scope) in such a way that the authorization pop-up indicates that we need read only access.
Right now the pop say says "Manage your contacts" - view and manage your Google Contacts. This "manage" part is discouraging to many users while all we need is to view them.
So far we tried the following scopes but the pop-up is the same ("Manage contacts"): - https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/ - https://www-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/api/people
Thanks, Piotr

To begin, obtain OAuth 2.0 client credentials from the Google API Console. Then your client application requests an access token from the Google Authorization Server, extracts a token from the response, and sends the token to the Google API that you want to access.
OAuth 2.0 is the standard that most apps and services follow today, including Google. In this post, you will learn how to integrate with the Google APIs via OAuth 2.0 so you can enable users to log into your app using their Google account.
Note: Use of Google's implementation of OAuth 2.0 is governed by the OAuth 2.0 Policies. Google APIs use the OAuth 2.0 protocol for authentication and authorization.
Applications on limited-input devices. The Google OAuth 2.0 endpoint supports applications that run on limited-input devices such as game consoles, video cameras, and printers. The authorization sequence begins with the application making a web service request to a Google URL for an authorization code.
Yes, there is, just use https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts.readonly as the scope and it will say "View your contacts".
Hope that helps!

For contacts, the lowest granularity of scope that google has is read/write. Read only access is not available.
