Google Classroom - Add students using apps script

There is 1 domain with a subdomain - school.com & students.school.com respectively.

I have created google classrooms for each class using google apps script.

Now comes the problem,
I am trying to add teachers & students into the google classrooms.
The 'super admin' account i am using is with my main domain (school.com).

Therefore, I can add teachers into classrooms, but I cant add students into the classroom because it belongs to the subdomain (students.school.com)

Here's how my code looks like,

function addTeachers() {
  Classroom.Courses.Teachers.create({
    userId: "[email protected]",
  }, "123456789");
}

function addStudents() {
  Classroom.Courses.Students.create({
    userId: "[email protected]",
  }, "123456789");
}

When I run addStudents function, this error appears,

Execution failed: The caller does not have permission

For Google Classroom were the classes/teacher are in one domain, and the students are in another. Setup a service account in the students domain. Then delegate domain-wide authority to the service account, with the needed scopes, which should be

auth/classroom.rosters

auth/classroom.profile.emails

auth/classroom.profile.photos

and use that service account to do the courses.students.create method on behalf on the student's google account (aka using both the courseid and enrollmentCode.)

You need to ensure the domains have whitelisted each other and allowed users from the other domain to be added to courses.
