Hi Kayyah,

Unfortunately Embeddable Calendar can only support readonly operation. To perform write operations you must do that through the GData API. On a note regarding authentication, just want to clarify that Embeddable Calendar is using a separate authentication mechanism (it is using the ordinary cookie-login, same as Calendar UI) than the ones used by the GData API (clientlogin or AuthSub), meaning that the authentication cannot be shared between them.

Hi,

I understand that it is possible to use the API to create and edit events in Google Calendar. But is it possible to embed a Google Calendar so that it is editable only to the user who owns it i.e. without making it writeable by the whole world?

I would like to embed the calendar within my template and authenticate the user through credentials that I provide for my website. Once the user authenticates themselves for my website, I will auto-authenticate them for Google Calendar through the API. But I would like to avoid writing the edit and create events functions if its possible to make the embedded calendar writeable.

Thanks. -Kayyah
