We recently registered a Google Business apps account and created a calendar for each employee. We book them appointments when they are free (meaning we read/write in the agenda).
Some employees already have their own personnal Google account with a calendar. Their personal events must show in their business calendar so we book only when they are really free.
How can I ensure that their personnal events show when I query their business calendar? And how can I ensure that if they only check their personnal calendar they will see their business events?
I don't want to just see the events on the same agenda if I log in to Google Calendar, I need a real sync of the events. I can't find the answer to this anywhere.

I am an admin on two Google Workspaces. I am looking for a way to sync both organizations' calendars so that a user from workspace A can hop into a calendar of any user from workspace B and schedule a meeting in his free time. Scouring the API more and more I am losing hope. Am I missing something?
Thanks
We have a shared calender and we want to find out who edited or deleted the event using google calender api. Is there anyway we can find out this?
You need Calendar audit log.
Track calendar notifications and view changes to your users’
calendars, events, and subscriptions
You can follow the steps provided to find out who have made changes in you public calendar.
Using the API, you can visit Calendar Activity Events.
I am designing web application for society management,
where i am trying to give event creation functionality through google calendar.
Other members are not able to create event in the calendar. I searched a lot but I am getting only one solution i.e. to invite
through gmail or to manually add gmail accounts and give permission. But i want make this calendar public everyone can
create event through it. Is this possible? if yes How?
Is there a way to actively tell which email addresses or google/iCal accounts have added/subscribed to a google calendar? I would like to keep track of how many and which email addresses use it or if they have unsubscribed. Currently, users can add the calendar either to their google calendar or their iCal. I own this calendar and have full access to its features should this be required.
My scenario is the following: We currently own an online rental marketplace that uses peer to peer bookings just like Airbnb. This means each user has a calendar for their property.We have a Vaway calendar for the bookings on our site however are wanting to integrate google calendar so we can be able to 2 way sync/asynchronous all the Ical calendars to each other from our partner sites who support it.
After much research I have tested my personal google calendar to see how the iCal works and it seems to work perfectly so we decided this architecture would need to be implemented on a much larger scale. This would be used in all new users signups to give our users an all in one calendar that syncs all our Partner sites into one completely synced google calendar for their listing. This basically allows a user who has their listing on 7 different platforms to sync to one calendar showing availability for them to keep track of inside Vaway account.
The google calendar would be completely separate from our Vaway calendar specifically to allow our users to sync all their property bookings from other sites into one integrated calendar.. The problem when reading about google calendar API is it requires OAuth 2.0 which is required user sign in from their existing google account (Calendar, Gmail...etc). Many of our users and new signups will not have google accounts and we do not want them to have to go through a google signup process to log into their calendar. Is there any way around OAuth 2.0? We really just need the functionality of the google calendar and its syncing capabilities inside our dashboard to give read write permission and sync back and forth 2 way with other calendars on other platforms.
With all of the features the google calendar has it seems to be perfect for what we are doing when testing. Each user that signs up with us will have google calendar in their Vaway dashboard provided by vaway however they will manage their own google calendar inside the Vaway platform for their property bookings. All calendars events/bookings would be public to allow the Ical syncing option to push through.
We do not want the users accessing this calendar outside of the platform because the pulls them away from the site. I'm not sure what solution would best suit this business model and am totally at my wits end here after researching. We are trying to keep our overhead low so google apps marketplace is not an option.
You really should reformulate your question, because it's really hard to read and understand right now.
But if I really get your question, you want to enable managing google calendar from a personal application without the end user having to log to any google personal account.
If this is clearly what you want to do, I suggest you to have a look to Service Account with OAuth2.0.
(See here : https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2#serviceaccount)
It will provide a service account for your application, from which you will be able to handle calendars for your app.
And here you will find a sample showing how to do it with Java. (https://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/wiki/OAuth2#Service_Accounts)
