In a helpful post on “The Gift of Script,” Phil Bainbridge tackles the common need to publish a Google Form so it can only be completed by users within your organisation.
He shares the complete Apps Script snippet, highlighting the crucial (and often missed) step of first setting the form as published (.setPublished(true)) before using the Drive API to apply domain-wide “reader” permissions. It’s a quick, effective solution for securing internal-only forms.
I use Google Apps Script to support staff and students in my job. I enjoy dabbling with creating tools to help with automation and I freely share my learning experiences on my blog, where I also have a number of useful Google Add-ons: www.pbainbridge.co.uk
