You can specify who has access to your web app when deploying a Google Apps Script:

1. Only I—the script’s owner—can access the internet.
2. Only individuals who are a part of your Google Apps domain are able to access the app.
3. Anyone can use the web app, but they must be signed into their own Google account in order to do so.
4. Users who don’t have Google accounts can also access your web app, including anonymous users.

If you are unable to Publish Google Script as a Web App for anonymous usage, it is likely that your Google Apps admin has disabled the option for the organization.

Allow users to share outside Google Apps domain

Some Google Apps administrators might disallow users in the domain from sharing files and documents with people outside the company for privacy reasons. In such circumstances, it is also not possible to Publish Google Script as a Web App for anonymous use.

1. Visit admin.google.com to log in to the Google Admin console.
   
2. Go to Drive > Sharing settings under Apps > Google Apps.
   
3. Select ON next to Sharing outside of organisation.
   
4. Choose the option that says “Allow organisation users to publish files online or make them accessible to the public or unlisted files.”

You can use the Google Drive Auditor to audit the sharing permissions of your files and know who has access to Drive.
