Google Permissions Explained

What permissions does SheetEngine request?

When you sign in, SheetEngine requests a limited set of Google permissions. You'll see exactly what's being requested on Google's consent screen before you approve.

SheetEngine can:

• Create and access spreadsheets you've selected or that the app created. It cannot see or access other files in your Google Drive.
• Read and write script code in your connected projects, so the AI agent can generate and edit automations for you.
• Deploy scripts to your spreadsheets, so you can push your code live with one click.

What SheetEngine cannot do

• Access files in your Google Drive that you haven't connected to SheetEngine
• Read your email, calendar, or any other Google services
• Share your files with anyone
• Make changes outside the projects you've connected

Script-level permissions

The automations deployed to your spreadsheet may need their own permissions (for example, to read spreadsheet data or send emails). Google shows a separate authorization prompt the first time you or your users run the script. These are managed by Google, not SheetEngine.

Revoking access

You can revoke SheetEngine's access at any time:

1. Go to myaccount.google.com/permissions
2. Find SheetEngine in the list
3. Click Remove Access

You'll need to re-authorize if you want to use SheetEngine again.
