I have all of a sudden started getting this error when a script is running.
I tried to go into the script and run it manually from the editor to get the authorization pop up to reauthorize it. 
Exception: Authorization is required to perform that action.

Here is the code where the error is happening. 

var newFile = DriveApp.getFileById(template.getId()).makeCopy().setName(shortDate + " Sub Coverage");

The file is in a shared drive that I am the  manager for.

I still have access to the template I am using.  It is also stored in the shared drive.

Thanks

I just narrowed it down, it is not letting me access the template file.

I was able to restore most scripts by removing all permissions and adding them back.  But is it still happening with certain scripts.  I was using this one with one line of code and it is not working.

There was a location setting in the Admin panel that was blocking the script based on the location of the server.
