I wonder if anybody has found a good way to do this. BTW, what I REALLY need is to ensure that the doc (or the calendar) gets listed in the user's list of documents or calendars after the acl is programmatically placed. This appears to be the case for regular Google Apps user accounts but not for individual members of Google Apps groups... In other words, when I share something like a doc or a calendar with a group, the document is not placed in the list of docs or calendars for the individual users UNLESS they reply to the invitation* (which of course would not exist if I share programmatically):-( -Patricia
