Google Service Account Not able to edit / update a Google Sheet using gspread

问题

This is a follow up to this StackOverFlow question.

In python, is it possible to edit a publicy shared google sheet, without an auth code?

Which advices to use a g-suite service account to access google sheets.

import gspread
from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials
scope = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets']
credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name('### downloaded JSON file ###', scope)
gc = gspread.authorize(credentials)

sht1 = gc.open_by_key('1wj9L7Hn779GKP0s4MblkU1wHcqaVcG_E2YKAo1vdof0')

I have done this and I am able to read values from the sheet just fine.

#Open by Gdrive ID
worksheet1 = gc.open_by_key('1qlIZAAK32fTb20KeOr9f-TAxYz7yQnvHUsdGP9Iakrc').sheet1
worksheet1.col_values(3)

>['value1', 'value2', 'value3']

But when I try to update a cell, I am getting a permission denied error.

query = 'insert this'
worksheet1.update_cell(len(values_list)+1, 3, query)

This is the output

APIError: {
  "error": {
    "code": 403,
    "message": "The caller does not have permission",
    "status": "PERMISSION_DENIED"
  }
}

Details and what I tried so far.

My service account uses the same email as the google drive account which I am using to host my google sheets. So I should be able to edit a sheet from my service account.
