Question

Is there a way to lock a particular Google Apps worksheet using a script?

I have this code that renames the current spreadsheet to whatever you enter in the input box.

// The code below will rename the active sheet to what you enter in the input box
var myValue = Browser.inputBox("Enter: LastMonth - Year");
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().renameActiveSheet(myValue);
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getRange("A1").setValue(myValue);

What can I add to the code above that will lock that same worksheet i just renamed only allowing me to edit that worksheet. Is that possible?

Answer 1

// Enables sheet protection for  this sheet
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var permissions = sheet.getSheetProtection();
permissions.setProtected(true);
sheet.setSheetProtection(permissions);
