Can we create a spreadsheet form and open it when the user when user logs in ?
I need a form which will record the attendance of the employee when He/She logs in . Also i would like to validate the code so that it must be shown only at first login.
Thanks in advance
What you are asking to do is not possible unless you were to authenticate users yourself, then pass that along to google. Nonetheless, you would still have to train your users to login on your special page, and they could circumvent the form by logging into google directly. If you are looking for login history, then the reporting API, Domain Management Panel or FlashPanel might provide the kind of report for which you search.

There's an interesting problem I'm facing as an educator. I want to collect user names in a form, but when I do that, it automatically enables students to email themselves a copy of their response.
I believe there's a way to somehow poll who's responded. When you enable the "one response per user" option, it doesn't require a stored user name. I know the information is out there somewhere - I just don't know how to get to it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: I neglected to be specific about the coding aspect - apologies. I'm generating the form programmatically, and wanted to know if the information is stored somewhere in the response when the one-response-per-person option is enabled. After more digging, it appears that the easiest way to deal with this is to use an extension to handle disabling the email option.
Thanks for all your help!
you cant get the user email unless you enable that option like you mentioned. yes google might internally know who you are if you were already logged-in but its not perfect because using chrome incognito mode for example would not detect the email.
one way I can think is to:
1) with apps script generate an array of all student emails and a random password. dump to a private spreadsheet and use as your database for the next script.
2) in your forms, ask first as a form question the custom username and password.
3) on another script you can generate form urls with prefilled usernames and passwords and email each student their own custom form url.
when the student opens the form to respond, the username and password would be prefilled already.
not perfect but a malicious user would need to hack the email and if they can hack their email then they could also impersonate the user logged-in.
I would like to use Google Forms as a means for the users of my system to enter their login credentials to various system tools.
The reason this is important is because as their admin, I will need to manage various aspects of their tools.
Users are (rightly so) anxious of entering passwords in clear text boxes. What is the best method for retrieving such information in a safe and user-friendly manner?
You should NEVER collect user credentials for 3rd party services, e.g. collecting username/password to Google accounts. Not even if this is a Google Apps account belonging to your organisation (note that google gives admins the ability to reset password but not to view it). Also, a lot of users are now using two-step verification, so collecting user credentials will not work.
If you need to access Google services in the name of the user, than you should look into OAuth.
With a Google Apps for Education domain, we can create forms that allows users to edit their response.
This sends a link to the submitter with the url that they can use to edit their response. Essentially this is the url of the form with a unique key at the end.
At the time of submission, I would like to be able to collect this key and store it with the form data for each user.
We are creating an Alumni website (where all users will be authenticated to our domain), and we'd like to have an update my profile page. This would be blank the first time the user submits. But then when they come back, I'd like a script to search the username against submitted entries, and if the user is found, direct them to the link that allows them to update their profile.
At the time of first submission, Google automatically sends the url to the user. However, t is unlikely that years later, they will stil have this email, so if we could provide the link for them, it would be far easier for the user.
I have similar problem. One way to solve, is to implement a Gmail plugin(if all users are gmail users). The plugin can parse the message (extractor), and get the key/or the whole URL. But you need to saveit on some database, in order to have acccess later.
If we got some way to list form keys, it should be much better!
Just want to ask if there is some way to add automatic email confirmation to vb.net website.
I want that user create new account in the website and the website sent the confirmation link to them. Only if the confirmation email is clicked the user will be able to fully register.
I know that there are ways with build in login page from vb. But I'm using my own login. Mainly becouse the database where user connect is MySql.
something like this: http://www.asp.net/web-forms/videos/authentication/implement-the-registration-verification-pattern
Any idea where to look? most of the google search links are with php or to Microsoft Sql.
Thanks in advance for any good link or solution.

basically, when an user registers the account, you generate a confirmation # (I will use GUID), then send the user an email with the confirmation link. the confirmation link is the url of the confirmation page with the confirmation # as parameter, i.e. www.mysite.com/confirmation.aspx?code={guid} . you save the confirmation code in the database with the user account table (it could be in the same table or a separated table). the user has to click the confirmation url to confirm. when confirm, you just need to check whether the code is the same as the Guid in the database.
Basically, the process is the same and it has no much relation with mySQL or SQL Server.
here is an example, although it is C#, the same process, just a little bit different syntax in code:

I need to get the user email when I get document permissions. I have seen this problem here
value attribute for Permissions Resource not populated in responses
but in about service does not appear my email. I need it because I have a service account and my application need know the user email. I want to avoid call to profile service.
Is this possible? from where I can get the user email?
Thanks.
As you rightly say, you will have to make a call to the profile service. In some ways it is better like this, because it separates the concerns of the Drive API and the Profile API, and can use specific scoping to let the user know exactly what they are authorizing your app to do.
