Thank you Dan, please let me repeat to see if I'm right: If I want to give a user access to my application (assuming, the user is logged in to google and uses my gadget [with type=url]), AND if I want to store the users google email in my application too, then I have to use AuthSub? Are there any examples for this in the documentation?
