Hello!

I have an employee who is an autocrat and they work with the majority of their Excel sheets but for a few tabs on the sheets they don't work.
It shows me the phrase "Autocrat has been blocked by the admin".

Is there a record or something I can look at to dig deeper and see what the autocrat is saying?

Thank you!

I have the same issue. Seems to be a recent development. Nothing has changed on our end everything was working as of Feb. 28. The first time the issue arose was March 8 when a merge did not run on form submission.

To follow up on this with more detail, Autocrat was not blocked by my administrator because I am the administrator and I did not block it -- no changes were made at all.

We use Google Workspace and I have tried setting Autocrat as a fully trusted app but to no avail:

I'm not an admin but I got this from the person who wrote certifium. Folks were having trouble with Flubaroo when they had made no changes.

I hope it helps.

Update on this for anyone experiencing the same issue: if you go through "Manage Add-ons" where you see the message that it has been blocked there is a button for "Admin install." Clicking that fixed the issue, even though the add-on has been installed for years. All previous settings and jobs were saved.

I'm not surprised.  It is my understanding that Google made several changes.  On the first some add-ons were grandfathered in.  On the m
most recent, add-ons had to be added by the admin.
