Hey everyone, and welcome back to the channel! Today, we're diving into the
world of Google Apps Script and understanding the importance of scopes. But
before we jump in, let's quickly answer the question:

What are scopes in Google Apps Script?

Scopes are essentially permissions that your script requests to access specific
Google services and data. They ensure your script doesn't have more access than
it needs, which is crucial for security and user trust.

Now, let's explore two commonly used scopes:

1. https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets

This scope grants your script access to the Google Sheets API. This means your
script can:

 * Read data: View and extract information from Google Sheets.

 * Write data: Modify existing data or even add new entries to your
   spreadsheets.

 * Format data: Change the appearance of cells, apply formatting, and manage
   sheet structure.

Here's a quick example:

Imagine an add-on that automatically populates a spreadsheet based on form
submissions. This add-on would require the spreadsheets scope to write the form
data into the desired sheet.

2. https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.container.ui

This scope allows your script to interact with the Container Service UI. This
empowers your script to:

 * Create custom interfaces: Design user-friendly interfaces for your add-ons
   using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

 * Display information: Present data, user input forms, and interactive elements
   within your add-on's interface.

 * Respond to user actions: Capture user input from buttons, dropdowns, and
   other interactive elements in the UI.

Here's an example:

An add-on might use the script.container.ui scope to create a sidebar within a
spreadsheet where users can choose specific data filters or trigger actions.

Important points to remember about scopes:

 * Always request the minimum scope needed: Only ask for permissions your script
   absolutely requires to function properly.

 * Be transparent with users: Clearly communicate what data your script accesses
   and why it needs those permissions.

 * Review scopes regularly: As your script evolves, re-evaluate whether the
   requested scopes are still necessary.

By understanding and using scopes responsibly, you can ensure your Google Apps
Scripts are secure, transparent, and user-friendly.
