I am trying to run
this simple Google Script.
However, it does not allow me to authorise. How can I proceed?
Update 1:
As reported by
Rubén, Google says it won't fix this - #163
Some workarounds are provided in #76, #145 and #150 - showing solutions like changing GCP and providing a oauth consent screen.
Update:
Switching Google cloud project from default to a standard project have resolved the issue for some users. This is still a workaround and may not work for all. Therefore, star the issue below.
This seems to be a new issue affecting certain users. You can ★(on top left) star the issue here to let Google developers know that you're affected by this issue and to prioritize the issue.
It stopped complaining once I specified the script only needed access to the current sheet. Google explains how to do it here.
All you need to add to your code is this JsDoc annotation:
/**
* #OnlyCurrentDoc
*/
That's something that happens. To solve the issue just copy the contents of your Script, delete it, and create a brand new one with the same contents, or give it another name in case you are superstitious. If that doesn't work, create another Spreadsheet with the same contents and proceed. Sometimes it's just a temporary issue. Perhaps the problem persists due to the stored browsing data, so it would be convenient to clear it. (I challenge you to take this last move!)
After going through the process twice with a client, I can confirm that the most reliable way to fix the error currently is to go through the verification process. An important note is that after approving the scopes, some accounts need to approve every other sensitive scope that is added to the script and cloud project as well or the issue will resurface.
So the step-by-step guide is as follows:
Switch from default to standard Google Cloud Project
Fill in the OAuth Credentials screen and add all sensitive scopes
Click on "Submit for verification" and prepare a YouTube video showing both authorization process and usage of each of the sensitive
scope
Wait until the verification team sends you an email (usually 1-2 days, but no guarantee here) and reply with the link to the video, then wait for the verification process to complete
If you received a "Granted" response, continue to steps 6 & 7, if not - follow the instructions provided
Remove all previously granted permissions to the project
Reauthorize the script by running it again, everything should be working
Having the same issue no solution of listed in this thread were working for me. After faied authentification i always get the screen as the topic starter gets it, without the "advanced" option.
However i've managed to get at least a limited access and run my script on the following way:
I share the affected sheet to anybody with link, with editor access level.
Then, from incognito window (maybe it isn't necessary, but i did it so), I've logged in into my other Google account,
opened the link, which was shared,
was forced to authorize myself,
failed on authorization - but the screen with failed authorization contains the "advanced" option,
clicking on it i've got a limited access and was able to run the script.

I've been working for Google Apps Script for a while. I have many programs where I've authorized Gmail, Docs, Drive, Calendar, UI, etc... I'm just now adding Contacts...but it is not working
My first step is to Contacts.createContact(), but this is failing no matter what I've done. Documentation says that the "https://www.google.com/m8/feeds" scope is needed. I have that. I also added "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts"
I've turned on API in the Admin for the Workspace. I've made the app the trusted. I've removed authorization for everything and readded. The odd thing is that in giving authorization when it lists everything asking for permissions, under contacts is says "Contacts: See, edit, delete..." It specifically does not say "Create".
I've followed all of the documentation I can find for Google and turned on everything and given permissions to everything. Still, I cannot createContact.
This worked for me:
function createADoggieContact() {
ContactsApp.createContact("Cooper","Dachshund","Cooper#cooper.com");
}
createContact
I didn't post code, because it was not a code problem. After hours and hours of trial and error, I found the problem. This is not documented anywhere that I could find in Google. Google support couldn't figure it out as well. I've left feedback that they will hopefully take.
I hope this helps someone else who is running into this problem. It was caused by the fact that the very first method I was trying executing in order to bring up the authorization was the ContactsApp.createContact(). Calling this first and in order to bring authorization appears to not be allowed or something they will permit as the very first operation. Don't know if this is security related.
I changed my code instead to use ContactsApp.getContact() to a known and existing contact. That code worked!!! Authorization popped up. Granted. Got the info. I then changed the code back to the .createContact()....it all worked fine.
This appears to only be when you are first trying to use the ContactApp and authorize it for the very first time in your code. Perhaps it was just a glitch in my account, but the same glitch could happen for someone else.

I'm using multiple Google accounts. In one of them (not default) I created Google Spreadsheet file and I want to create Script connected to it. Nothing complicated. But the problem is that after clicking Tools > Script Editor I'm being redirected to default user or I see this screen:
The same problem I have when trying to use: script.google.com
What can I do to enable Script editor?
I know you asked this 9 months ago, but here is my solution;
Sign out of all google accounts except the owner of the spreadsheet
You can now access the scripts and macros pages (go there)
Create a bookmark of them (this saves which profile is logged in)
Now sign back into all your profiles
Voila!
You will be able to access the scripts or macros via the bookmarks without getting the error page.
This is a reported bug.
Go give it a ☆ if you want to let Google know that this affects you.
You can consider appending authuser=email to the URL to open the script with a specific Google account.
For example, script.google.com...?param=value&authuser=email#example.com
I was not able to reproduce the problem. Perhaps it's a glitch or there is something wrong that requires some troubleshooting techniques that are off-topic on this site.
As a workaround, for the account having problems, use another Google Chrome profile, Incognito mode, or another browser.
By the other hand, it's possible that there isn't any wrong and it's just something related to your specific scenario.
From Sign in to multiple accounts at once
Sometimes settings might carry over
If you're signed in to multiple accounts at the same time, sometimes we can't tell which
account you're using. For example, if you're signed in to two accounts
and you open a new browser window, we aren't sure which account you
want to use. In cases like these, Google might apply settings from
your default account, like its Web & App Activity and Ads
Personalization settings.
google's default account (the first one you sign on with) has to be the owner of the sheet
Based on #iansedano's answer, you can share the file with the default chrome user and open the same link in a new tab again to resolve the issue.
If someone needs a quick fix for this :
At the end of the url change the "authuser=1" by the index of the Google Account you want to log with. (0 is the first one, 1 is the second)

You can also open a new incognito window, paste your sheet url there (you'll need to authenticate). Then you can open Tools -> Script Editor
I've got a problem on some script I'm working on and I've got a error message like :
Which means :
The OAuth identity of this script has been deleted or disabled. This
may be due to a Terms of Service violation.
I've see this SO question that gave me a solution to resolve the problem.
My question is: how to avoid this kind of problem ?
Does my script got a problem ? Does my script was automatically strike for some reason ?
Looking at my research, all the people who've got the problem find a solution, but never find the cause of the problem.
Does anyone have some experience with this error message ?
Thank you.
Edit: The problem occur when user already review the permissions, not on permissions review. Thanks Zig to point that.
#Frank M. was right on his answer at OAuth Error - script deleted or disabled
This seems to fix the problem, but in fact it does not.
The problem is related to the cloud project bound to the script, The
reason turned out to be that the TOS for Cloud projects changed and
that the user has to acknowledge this. If that does not happen then
after some time the whole shebang is disabled and you get the error
message.
(This is why a copy seems to work: it works until some Google bot
notices that it is bound to a project without TOS acknowledgement and
then it disables it.)
The solution: - open the script - click Resources > Cloud Platform
project - click on the bound project.
This will open up the Cloud console and also show the popup for you to
acknowledge the new TOS. If you agree to this, you're set and your
script works again.
Note: it seems that you need to do this only once for the Cloud
environment. So if you have several scripts then you need to do this
for one script only. Or access the Cloud environment directly and
acknowledge the new TOS.
Note: even if you though your script is not bound to a Cloud project,
trust me... it is. If you do not bind it yourself, then it is bound to
a default project specific to that script.
Hope this helps.
Even if the script doesn't work immediatly after accepting the new TOS, he work about 30 minutes after, as he suppose to work.
