Questions

What can Windmill do with my account?

Everything the connected account can do in Docs. Grant it an account that only holds what you intend to automate.

Can I create the resource by hand instead of connecting?

Nothing stops you — the resource is a single token field. But Google's access tokens last about an hour and only the OAuth flow returns the refresh token that renews them, which is why this page has no CLI lane.

There is no Connect button on my instance

Self-hosted instances need a Google OAuth client configured once by an admin before the tile appears.
