Ownership of Apps Script Application

[Brian Berneker]

We are investigating apps script as a shareable app using Google Groups to administer users.

If a person creates an app using apps script but later leaves the organization, does the app terminate?

Can we set up a google group as the app owner instead of a single user and manage users/owners that way?

Any clarification on these questions would help.

If the user's account is deleted, then yes the app will probably stop working. It is best to create a functional account, like group...@domain.com, to own the app's script project.

I would also add that this can be very important if you have any scripts that use triggers (e.g., a daily trigger to send a daily report). If you create all the triggers from the functional account, then nothing will break if anyone leaves.
