I contact you because I face an issue on a project regarding the execution of an embedded script in a google document:
We have implemented a solution that copy google sheet templates from google drive to a shared drive with a google service account.
When the user tries to execute the document (App Script inside google sheet)'s script in the shared drive, an error message indicates only the owner can perform this action, which is impossible since by default the owner of the document is so the google service account.
Is there a solution to solve this issue?
Thank you!

I have a fairly simple dataset in a Google Sheet. I created an AutoSort script. I saved it, and when I click "Run," I get the following errors. One from a pop-up, and another from the Execution Log.
Pop-up error:
Authorization required
This project requires your permission to access your data.
*For this error, there is a button to "Review Permissions" and I log in using my google account and then just nothing happens.
Execution Log error:
Warning This project requires access to your Google Account to run. Please try again and allow it this time.
The Owner of this Google Sheet is my personal Gmail account, and I am making these edits and created the script using my business Gmail Admin account. I also tried to access this sheet and run the script USING my personal Gmail account, and received the same error:
Google hasn’t verified this app
The app is requesting access to sensitive info in your Google Account. Until the developer ({mypersonalemail}#gmail.com) verifies this app with Google, you shouldn't use it.
Any insight as to how I can authorize this would be appreciated. It sounds like something small I'm missing.
Also, in my personal email I receive a message with subject:
Review edits to your Apps Script project within your document
and it allows me links to access the worksheet and the script, but I don't see any way to approve the edits, or anything like that.
Expected behavior: What I am expecting is for the script to Run, when I click "Run."
It's not a good idea to mix accounts from different domains, specially when using a free account and a Google Workspace account like you have done because that is the cause of the situation that you are facing.
My hypothesis is that the Google Cloud default project linked to the bounded script is created with the account used to create the project.
If you need that you personal account be the spreadsheet owner the best is to create the script using the personal account, and when needed, create a Google Cloud Standard project (GCSP) using the the personal account. You might try to fix the problem with your spreadsheet and the current Apps Script project by creating a GCSP, as was mentioned previously, by using the account that is the owner of the spreadsheet and linking it to the Apps Script project.
Note: If your script is using sensitive scopes you might have to set the OAuth Consent Screen publishing status to tes and add your Google Workspace account as tester.
Ref: Setting up your OAuth consent screen
Once you have finished the setup of your Google Apps Script project you should be able to use your Google Workspace account to update and run the Apps Script code but any new deployment and new version should be done using your personal account.
If you have access to Shared Drives and are allowed to use them for your spreasheet, consider to move it to a Shared Drive as this will make a lot easier to manage your script.
I am creating and hosting a web app with Google Apps Script(html). The screen of 'Unverified app screen' is displayed.
Google workspace is not used.
With over 100 users, access to the app is now blocked.
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/client-verification?hl=en#applicability
I'm trying to request verification of the app by referring to the following article, but I'm stumbling on the confirmation of ownership of Apps Script in step 1.
※google cloud platform project has already been created, and is linked to the Apps script project.
Is there a way to check the ownership of a web page launched with Google Apps Script using the Google search console?
They need to click on the unsafe link and authorize the script.
I have a Google Apps Script that I am currently using to successfully open a Google Sheets spreadsheet (read-only shared with my account) and perform some reading functions.
I received another spreadsheet that I would like to run similar processes on.
If I try:
SpreadsheetApp.openById("_______") (which works on the other sheet), I get Exception: Service Spreadsheets failed while accessing document with id _____" with this sheet. This spreadsheet is actually an xlsx on Google Drive (but appears it can still open in Google sheets) rather than a native Google sheet so I figured maybe that was the issue...?
So now I'm trying to instead access it as a Google Drive file using DriveApp.getFileById("____"). However now I get an authorization request to allow my script to access Google Drive. When I authorize it, I get:
This app is blocked
This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access.
I haven't found a way to fix this. I'm on a private Google account, not using a company's Apps.
Any ideas?
Found a solution to the permission issue.
To work with Apps Script, I've modified this from #alper's solution which sources #tellowkrinkle's comment.
Do the following:
Go to https://console.developers.google.com and create a new project for yourself
Search for the Google Drive API in the search box at the top, and turn it on
Click OAuth consent screen on the left and set it up.
Assuming your account isn't part of an organization, you'll have to say your app is for external users and in testing
In the required scopes section, add .../auth/docs and .../auth/drive (I'm not sure which needed, it's probably only one of those). This will probably not be available if you didn't complete (2)
Add the accounts you want to use with your copy of gdrive as testers of your app. Only these accounts will be able to use your copy of gdrive, so everyone will have to compile their own (unless someone goes and gets theirs reviewed by Google). I only added my own account because I am the only one using my App Script which uses my Drive.
Click the 3 dots on the top right and select "Project settings". Make note of the "Project number".
Go to your Apps Script. Go to Resources > Cloud Platform project. Insert the project number from (4).
Next time you try to run your Apps Script, you'll be asked to Authorize but this time you'll have the chance to actually do it successfully.
Is it possible give a Google App Script permission to create files in a user's Google Drive, and then only have edit/delete access to those files, without having write access to any other files?
From what I can understand, the permission I need for this is drive.file under dependencies.enabledAdvancedServices[].serviceId, which is available in Google Drive API v3, but Google App Scripts only supports v2 (at least, as far as I can tell in the "Advanced Google Services" dialog).
Is there a way to get drive.file in GAS that I'm missing? Or has Google announced any plans to bring v3 into GAS? Or another way to restrict my script to only having write access on files it creates?
Hi I have an idea about file management between GAS and my BDserver. How so? Well, I'd like to have predesigned spreadsheet and save them somehow in my bd. Then users've installed my add-on can load that predesigned spreadsheet on his/her current spreadsheet. PD: Besides the user could save custom "predesigned spreadsheets" for helping to grow the app. How can I save a spreadsheet (Google Drive Spreadsheet) in my server and later call that "file" and load it in a empty spreadsheet? xml? json? export like excel file .xls??. I appreciate your suggestions.
You may find helpful information in Google Apps Script regarding the things that you can do with Google Apps like Docs, Sheets and Forms. You can also find links from the documentation which could help if you've developed a script for Google Sheets and want to share it with the world. App Script lets you publish your script as an add-on so others can install it from the add-on store.
In addition to that, to save your spreadsheet in your own database, you need to connect to it through Apps Script's JDBC service. First, you need to ensure that your database accepts connections from any of Apps Script's IP addresses as detailed in JDBC - Setup for other databases.
