I am working within NYU gmail in a spreadsheet (gmail within the nyu.edu domain). The script for addEditor seems to only work for #gmail addresses (even though I'm only logged into my NYU account/scripting from within that account). I have read some documentation that this is an issue, but does anyone know a workaround? In the code below, the emails are in line 2, and the docID is in line 10 of my spreadsheet. I have tried adding editors both via documentApp method--
for (var i = 2; i <= lastRow; i++) {
var eAddress = sh.getRange(i, 2).getValue();
var doc = DocumentApp.openById(sh.getRange(i, 10).getValue());
doc.addEditor(eAddress)
}
And via the Drive advanced service:
var eAddress = sh.getRange(i, 2).getValue();
var fileID = sh.getRange(i, 10).getValue();
Drive.Permissions.insert(
{
'role': 'writer',
'type': 'user',
'value': eAddress
},
fileID,
{
'sendNotificationEmails': 'false'
});
Both methods only add editors who have gmail addresses (unfortunately, all my students have nyu addresses). Any help appreciated.
Would setting it to domain with link work for your application?
// sets sharing to Domain with link - People in your domain who have the link can access. Sign-in required.
sheet.setSharing(DriveApp.Access.DOMAIN_WITH_LINK, DriveApp.Permission.EDIT);

My question is an extension of this fantastic solution but am hoping to take it one step further. Whenever a user other than me marks the checkbox as TRUE, the sender of the email is always me, since:
Installable triggers always run under the account of the person who created them
Is it possible to capture the user currently logged in and make them the sender, and if so, what am I missing in my code to make that happen?
What I've tried
I believed I had found my answer, but no such luck. This still posts the timestamp to the sheet successfully, but the email sender still shows as me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit(s):
I noticed in the above solution if (activeUser === effectiveUser) { only "worked" if typed as if (activeUser !== effectiveUser) {. In my attempts at making it work, I made that edit and forgot to revert it.
function sendEmail(e){
var sheet = e.source.getActiveSheet();
var cell = e.range;
var activeUser = Session.getActiveUser().getEmail();
var effectiveUser = Session.getEffectiveUser().getEmail();
if (activeUser !== effectiveUser) {
Logger.log(cell.getColumn());
Logger.log(cell.isChecked());
//Check if the checkbox in column G(index 7) was checked
if(sheet.getName() == "actionItems" && cell.getColumn() == 7 && cell.isChecked()){
//get current row values from column A to column F
var values = sheet.getRange(cell.getRow(),1,1,6).getDisplayValues().flat();
Logger.log(values);
var transmittalNumber = values[0];
var email = values[5];
var query = values[1];
//create and update the email's hmtl body
var templ = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('html_template');
templ.query = query;
var message = templ.evaluate().getContent();
//Send email
MailApp.sendEmail({
to: email,
subject: "Oatsies Action Item: "+transmittalNumber,
htmlBody: message
});
//Add timestamp at column H(index 8)
var timeZone = "GMT-7";
var date = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(),timeZone, "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm");
sheet.getRange(cell.getRow(),8).setValue(date);
}
}
}
From the question
Is it possible to capture the user currently logged in and make them the sender?
If you are using a free Google account (usually gmail.com account) it might be possible if you use the Gmail API and set a way for active users to authorize the access to their Gmail account to send emails. Also it might be possible if you and the user are using a Google Workspace accounts and if you are able to take advantage of company-wide delegation of authority (also might be possible if you are able to configure the user's email addresses as emails aliases of your account).
Regarding the use of Session.getActiveUser().getEmail() it will return the active user email based on a complex rules i.e. your account and active user belongs to the same Google Workspace domains.

I created a new slide using a Google App script using
var targetDocument = SlidesApp.create("New Doc");
var targetDocumentUrl = targetDocument.getUrl();
After making some modifications to the targetDocument (all of which work), I want to email the targetDocumentUrl to a particular person using the script
function sendEmail(recipient,subject,fileUrl){
var file = DriveApp.getFileById(getIdFromUrl(fileUrl));
GmailApp.sendEmail(recipient, subject, 'Here is the file' + fileUrl + ' body of message', {
attachments: [file.getAs(MimeType.PDF)],name: 'Auto Emailer'
});
}
While the email happens properly, the Url is not a public url. How do I ensure that the url is accessible by any recipient?
Did not find any attribute of the access privileges on google app script.
Solution:
To create a public-shareable link of a particular file you can do the following:
function createSlide() {
const name = "New Doc"
const targetDocument = SlidesApp.create(name);
const targetDocumentUrl = targetDocument.getUrl();
const file = DriveApp.getFileById(targetDocument.getId());
//file.setSharing(DriveApp.Access.ANYONE_WITH_LINK, DriveApp.Permission.EDIT);
file.setSharing(DriveApp.Access.DOMAIN_WITH_LINK, DriveApp.Permission.EDIT);
}
If you are from a G Suite account use:
file.setSharing(DriveApp.Access.DOMAIN_WITH_LINK, DriveApp.Permission.EDIT);
otherwise you should be able to use:
file.setSharing(DriveApp.Access.ANYONE_WITH_LINK, DriveApp.Permission.EDIT);

I am writing a code on Google Apps Script to send an email every time there is a new announcement made in my site. Here is the code for reference:
var url_of_announcements_page = "https://sites.google.com/announcements";
var who_to_email = "emailaccount";
function emailAnnouncements(){
var page = SitesApp.getPageByUrl(url_of_announcements_page);
if(page.getPageType() == SitesApp.PageType.ANNOUNCEMENTS_PAGE){
var announcements = page.getAnnouncements({ start: 0,
max: 10,
includeDrafts: false,
includeDeleted: false});
announcements.reverse();
for(var i in announcements) {
var ann = announcements[i];
var updated = ann.getLastUpdated().getTime();
if (updated > PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().getProperty("last-update")){
var options = {};
options.htmlBody = Utilities.formatString("<h1><a href='%s'>%s</a></h1>%s", ann.getUrl(), ann.getTitle(), ann.getHtmlContent());
MailApp.sendEmail(who_to_email, "Announcement - '"+ann.getTitle()+"'", ann.getTextContent()+"\n\n"+ann.getUrl(), options);
PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().setProperty('last-update',updated);
}
}
}
}
function setup(){
PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().setProperty('last-update',new Date().getTime());
}
I would like to know if it is possible to add my gmail signature to the code. As when I send it with the script my signature is removed. Do I have to make my signature in the code or am i able to get my signature from gmail and automatically insert it at the end? Here is the line for the formatting of the email:
MailApp.sendEmail(who_to_email, "Announcement - '"+ann.getTitle()+"'", ann.getTextContent()+"\n\n"+ann.getUrl(), options);
Apps Script cannot access user's signature: there is no method for that in MailApp, or GmailApp, or even in Gmail API accessible via Advanced Google Services.
In principle, you could use GmailApp to get a recent outgoing message and search its text for the signature contained after the last -- found in message body. But this requires giving the script a lot more access (GmailApp can access, forward and delete existing email, unlike MailApp) and is error-prone (when text parsing fails, you might end up with an embarrassing fragment of text in your message).
Just append it directly:
var signature = "\n\n--\nFirstName LastName";
// ...
MailApp.sendEmail(... +signature, options);
(By the way, Gmail web interface and Gmail mobile app have different user signatures in general, so having another one for script-generated messages doesn't seem unusual.)
Within our Google Apps Org, I would like to setup a shared contact list that anyone inside our company can access and add/edit the contacts so we have all the same information. What is the best way to go about this?
I would create an application in App Engine that uses the Google APIs to edit the Shared Contacts list. That way you can restrict access to your domain users and also audit the activity that is occurring. There are third party tools out there that can edit the shared contact list but this is typically locked down to avoid situations where users delete contacts they should not be able to. Don't forget that the Shared Contacts list that appears in Gmail's type-ahead has a 24 hour delay.
Hey for anyone out there we used a Google Sheet, now anyone can update the sheet and you can either set an automated trigger to upload them on a schedule or manually push them into the Google Directory.
gsheet:
First we pull all the contacts from the directory then you can add/update/delete existing or new contacts.
Then push them to the Directory using the menu.
We made setup super simple so it auto grabs the user info and domain etc without the user having to do anything
var SHEET_NAME = 'google';
var ERROR_RECIPIENT_MAIL= Session.getActiveUser().getEmail();
var DOMAIN = ERROR_RECIPIENT_MAIL.replace(/.*#/, "");
Then we call the Domain Shared Contacts API to get all the data and put it into an array:
function getAllContacts(){
var contacts = ContactsApp.getContacts();
var lastRow = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().
getSheetByName(SHEET_NAME).getLastRow();
if (lastRow >2) SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().
getSheetByName(SHEET_NAME).deleteRows(3, lastRow*1-2);
var contacts = ContactsApp.getContacts();
var params = {
method : "get",
contentType : "application/atom+xml",
headers : {"Authorization": "Bearer " +
ScriptApp.getOAuthToken(),"GData-Version": "3.0"},
muteHttpExceptions : true
};
var startIndex=1;
var data,respCode,resp;
resp = UrlFetchApp.fetch("//www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/"
+DOMAIN+"/full?alt=json&start-index="+startIndex, params);
respCode=resp.getResponseCode();
//SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().
// getSheetByName(SHEET_NAME).getRange("A10").setValue(resp);
data = JSON.parse(resp.getContentText());
From there it's then put in the correct fields on the sheet for the user to update. Then the user selects the action from the drop down which calls the appropriate function when the script is run to update.
Example of delete function:
function deleteContact(contactID,rowNumber){
var params = {
method : "delete",
contentType : "application/json",
headers : {"Authorization": "Bearer " + ScriptApp.getOAuthToken(),"GData-Version": "3.0","If-Match":"*"}
};
var resp = UrlFetchApp.fetch(contactID, params);
var respCode=resp.getResponseCode();
if (respCode=='201' || respCode=='200') {
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(SHEET_NAME).deleteRow(rowNumber*1);
}
else{
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName(SHEET_NAME).getRange(rowNumber*1, 15, 1, 1).setValue('ERROR');
ERROR_COUNT=ERROR_COUNT.toString()+rowNumber;
}
}
It's pretty cool, and now we are working on bulk data entry as it seems to stall or stop after about 700 contacts in a single run. Also some of the contacts don't get synced and have an error which we'll work on shortly to get the user more info and even store the missed contact to be fixed and updated after. Anyway hope that helps and gives you some ideas.

My question is this: How can I remove a user from the users db by username, or at all even?
I have a meteor application with a custom registration, and when an account is created you can login and manage your account and what have you.. My problem is that, on the local host for testing, I created a few extra user accounts that I want to delete individually (not a complete reset). I am on OS X so I went to terminal, typed in 'show dbs' but users came up empty and when I typed 'show users' nothing came up. If I type 'db.users.findOne()' information appears and I can get a username and _id. I know there is users and this command shows that there is at least one but the rest of the commands indicate that I can't manage them.
Below is some code for the registration page, specifically the Accounts.createUser I'm not sure it will mater for the response but I wanted to be thorough.
Template.SignUp.events({
'submit form': function(event, template){
event.preventDefault();
var UsernameVar = template.find('#username').value;
var emailVar = template.find('#Email').value;
var passwordVar = template.find('#password').value;
var ConfirmPasswordVar = template.find('#Cpassword').value;
if(ConfirmPasswordVar == passwordVar)
{
document.getElementById("NotValid").style.display = 'none';
Accounts.createUser({
username: UsernameVar,
email: emailVar,
password: passwordVar
}, function(err, result){
if(err)
{
document.getElementById("Unavailable").style.display = 'block';
}
else{
document.getElementById("Unavailable").style.display = 'none';
}
});
}
else{
document.getElementById("NotValid").style.display = 'block';
}
}
});
I've done a lot of searching on this issue and all I've found is how to grant users the right to remove profiles but I want to do it from terminal, even when the application launches I will be the only one to be using this feature so I don't want to start giving those rights to users.
If there is anything else I should provide please let me know.
meteor mongo
db.users.find({username: "someusername"}) // ensure that your query returns the correct user that you want to remove
db.users.remove({username: "someusername"})
