I would like to hide sheets that are not relevant to anyone who is logged in. There is a list of users on the top right of the screen next to the chat and comments functions.
Is it possible to get that information into script?
This isn't currently possible using the standard Google Apps Script services.
It might be possible with the experimental Google Real Time API, but you would have to investigate and experiment with that to determine both if it is possible, and to how to access that API from Apps Script. This wouldn't be a straight forward task.

I am trying to use Google Apps Script together with Google Sheets to get API data from a bank to my online table, but looks it is absolutely impossible. Every time I do it, I get these messages:
"Authorization required
Exchange Rate Table needs your permission to access your data on Google
Google sign-in is temporarily disabled for this application
This app has not yet been verified for Google Sign-in".
What kind of authorization Google needs again? I tried to learn at the Google Identity Platform, but found there 10 page instructions with a lot of useful hyperlinks. I need a university course at least to understand it.
This is a known issue regarding Apps Script.
I suggest you star the issue and eventually add a comment saying that you are affected by it.
there.
First time poster here. I've been using GAS to build a personal app that takes Telegram input and posts to a Google Sheet. It's a very simple app that helps manage a budget. I'm trying to extend the functionality to allow a couple friends who have expressed interest to post their own transactions to their own Google Sheets hosted on their own Google Accounts.
Right now the only way I can see to do that is to have them "share" their Google Sheet with my user account, which is obviously not preferable. I'd like the app to have authorized access, which would obviously require them to grant the access, but don't want a "shared" sheet.
Is there any way to do this within the Google App Script Editor enviroment? Or do I have to switch everything over to something like Google Cloud? If the latter, can anyone point me toward a tutorial on getting that done?
Thanks in advance.
I have a Rest API available which I would like to make available via an Google sheet for less tech oriented people. I was wondering if it is possible to hide the google script from the sheet if I share it with people? I have some sensitive information in the code like the authentication etc which I would like to hide. Moreover, it would be nice if they can't infer with the code. Is this possible?
The only secure way is to create an add-on.

How to protect the Apps Script code in a Google spreadsheet?
I am considering using Google Spreadsheets and Google Apps Scripts for our business rules, given that Spreadsheets will make the business rules available and editable to non-technical employees.
My concern is about all the quotas that apply to Google Apps Scripts, as these also might change in the future, and there is no way to upgrade to a "premium" with more liberal quotas.
As a fall-back I am considering using the Google Spreadsheets API, and I assume that there are also quotas on this API, but I cannot find them anywhere. Does anyone know them? Or has anyone hit these quotas?
I am also trying to get some sort of idea of whether it is indeed a good idea to put the business rules in Google Spreadsheets in my question here.
There is an Apps Script Dashboard which identifies any service disruptions, as well as a tab for a breakdown of quotas, based on your Google Apps account type.
Google Apps Script Dashboard
From a quick skim of your posting on StackExchange, one thing to be mindful of is the email quota (1500 total recipients per account each day). You may be able to offset this hurdle (if applicable) using Google Groups, either by creating predefined groups, or programmatically building groups using Advanced Google service in Apps Script (at least for internal communications; direct add accounts for external addresses require a welcome message).
I'm not familiar with Ultradox, but using Apps Script, you can populate Google Doc "Template" files, convert them to PDF, and attach in Gmail (or provide the share link), right from Apps Script.
I am not able to find Adword API support in Google App Script,I can write adword script from adword account but currently i'm handling multiple account(almost 25) what i have to do is go inside individual account and copy my script in that account and adword script have limitation of maximum 15 script can be run by one user at a time, i want to create database of all account at one place that is possible through adword api in java and other programming languages,but i'm quite familiar with Google App script i want to use Adword API in App Script,how can i use UrlFetch() class of Google App Script to use adword api, so that just by replacing client Id of adword account i can get all data at one place(i have access to all account so no need to change username and password).
Thanks in advance for any help and information!
If I understand correctly, the main problem is that you want to to basicaly make a "code library?" So reuse the same bits of code between accounts?
One option is to use the Eval function, as detailed in tip 3 of this article: http://www.ppchero.com/tricks-for-running-adwords-scripts-in-multiple-accounts/. A second example of using this same method is here: http://www.freeadwordsscripts.com/2013/10/use-gdrive-to-load-single-adwords.html
You would then upload this into Google Drive, or point this to the location of the Google Script.
Another option, as detailed in the PPC Hero Article, is to use Google Sheets to pass the variables you need from one script to another. Basically, the SpreadsheetApp function works within all AdWords scripts, so you can use this to pass data along from external sources.
There are some example scripts regarding Adwords associated with these posts:
