Here's my script, but I can't get it to work for some weird reason??!!! Driving me nuts.
function removeThenSetProtection() {
// Remove all range protections in the spreadsheet that the user has
//permission to edit.
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var protections = ss.getProtections(SpreadsheetApp.ProtectionType.SHEET);
for (var i = 0; i < protections.length; i++) {
var protection = protections[i];
if (protection.canEdit()) {
protection.remove();
}
}
}
