I use Google Apps for my calendar, and display my girlfriends gmail calendar into mine by using the "Private Address" ICal link from her calendar settings. That makes it possible for me to see all of her calendar (that is not marked private).

Now I want to do the same the other way - show her all of my calendar. But since my calendar is google apps, not the regular gmail one, the options look different. I have been able to share my calendar with her - but only as free/busy.

Am I missing something, or is it not possible to share your calendar outside the google apps domain?

1. Make sure your domain-settings allow sharing

Turns out, there is a domain-wide setting of whether or not you will be able to share your calendar as other than free/busy. It seems like the default is free/busy only.

Log in as the Google Apps admin

Calendar -> Sharing options -> Outside this domain - set user ability

  • Only free/busy information (hide event details)
  • Share all information, but outsiders cannot change calendars
  • Share all information, and outsiders can change calendars

2. Share the calendar

As described in the post by alex.

Isn't your solution a bit extreme? Allowing outsiders to modify your calendar isn't really a great solution. Maybe you should contact Google support to find the official solution. – alex Sep 15 at 4:47
If I understand it correctly, it is only people that I have explicitly granted permission. – Kjensen Sep 15 at 19:33

In the calendar in Google Apps, if you go to Settings -> Share this calendar -> Share with specific people you can choose how much you want to share. You can choose See all event details to actually show all the data about the events.

I already tried that - it would seem like that is how it is supposed to work - but it does not work. No matter which address I want to share with (outside my domain), I can only select free/busy. – Kjensen Sep 14 at 23:50
