Hi, I posted about this before, got a reply which I thought didn't answer my question, I then replied explaining why it didn't work for me, and never heard back from anybody at Google. So I'm trying again here, hoping that somebody WILL reply this time :-) (Please note that I got an 'incompatible' reply from the Google Calendar help forum ***) My first post: ---------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I'm wondering whether the following is possible (and if so, please let me know how to construct the given url :-)): using a 'private' calendar url (for a calendar that belongs to 'A'), person B (which has read(or editor) permission to A's calendar), can simply access A's calendar by following that url, as long as they are logged into Google Apps. In other words, I'm looking for functionality equivalent to that in Google Docs, thanks to which I can directly access somebody else's doc by following its url, as long as I have the right permissions, and as long as I'm logged into Google Apps. Could somebody please clarify. Thanks in advance, -Patricia ----------------------------------------------------------- Ray Baxter's reply: ----------------------------------------------------------- Yes, this is possible. If A has shared their calendar with B, the A's calendar will appear in user B's allcalendars feed assuming user B presents the proper credentials, and user B will have the whatever access to that calendar that user A has provided. The url for accessing user A's calendar will be the same url for user B as for user A. I user A's calendar is <http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/userA%40group.calendar.go> http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/userA%40group.calendar.google.com/priva te/full, then that is the url that user B would use.

------------------------------------------------------------ My reply to Ray Baxter: ------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Ray, Thanks for the reply. I'm glad this is supposed to be possible. Now I need to figure out why this does not seem to be working for me though:-(. I've created two users in a GoogleApps domain, and after I've programmatically added B to A's calendar acl feed (so that B is a reader of A's calendar), I'm trying to have B follow a URL to A's calendar (please note that I'd like to do this as opposed to have B go to his main calendar, and from there, find A's calendar). Assuming that we are dealing with A's main calendar, I've tried the following urls: <http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/A/private/full> http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/A/private/full <http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/A/private/basic> http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/A/private/basic Either of these urls causes a '401' (Needs authorization) http error, even though B is logged into Google Apps. So what am I missing? Also, please note that I want to see the calendar rendered, and not some representation of the feed (not sure if the urls above are exactly what I need). -Patricia *** After my frustration, I tried the Google Calendar help forum (no apis), and after first receiving a reply suggesting that I should be using the 'public' calendar url, they eventually realized that it may not be NOT possible to do what I was trying to do (in other words, have B share A's calendar by simply following a url; the only way to do it might then be to go through B's calendar first, in order to navigate to A's calendar and then have access to it; it would be nice if somebody could confirm - or NOT- this here).
