Public bug reported:

Currently the 'calendar' policy group is reserved because giving access
to the EDS's DBus API allows applications to access all calendars
without user consent. If calendars are going to be made generally
available to untrusted appstore apps, EDS needs to be modified to use
trust-store, like location-service does. Integrating with trust-store
means that when an app tries to connect to the EDS over DBus, EDS will
contact trust-store, the trust-store will prompt the user ("Foo wants to
access your calendars. Is this ok? Yes|No"), optionally cache the result
and return the result to EDS. In this manner the user is given a
contextual prompt at the time of access by the app. Using caching this
decision can be remembered the next time. If caching is used, there
should be a method to change the decision in settings.

Targeting to T-Series for now, since the trust-store is not in a
reusable form yet.
