Assigning Google Calendar access to all users in a group (Java)

Question

I can create a google calendar in my Java app.

I can assign it to a particular user in my Google domain:

AclRule rule = new AclRule();
Scope scope = new Scope();

scope.setType("user");
scope.setValue("user1@mydomain.com");

rule.setScope(scope);
rule.setRole("reader");

and the created calendar appears in user1's calendars.

Yet when I try to assign some other calendar to a group (which said user1 belongs to):

AclRule rule = new AclRule();
Scope scope = new Scope();

scope.setType("group");
scope.setValue("group1@mydomain.com");

rule.setScope(scope);
rule.setRole("reader");

user1 couldn't see the created calendar in his calendar list.

But the calendar is created successfully.

Is this correct functionality? Or should I just add Acl rule per group user ? Or I am doing something wrong and there is other way to assign some calendar to all the users in a group ?

Answer 1

for future people running into problems: I had this issue and it's because the creator of the calendar wasn't in the group. Make sure the "sharer" is in the google group you are sharing your calendar with
