Google Calendar and AddEvent
When adding an event to Google Calendar, you are initially asked to grant
AddEvent.com permission to manage your calendar.
This permission is the lowest tier Google Calendar has to offer and can be misleading
when trying to understand which level of access AddEvent has to your calendar (now and in the future).
First time using AddEvent
- 1. You are asked by Google to choose your account and then to sign in.
- 2. When you have signed in, you are asked to grant AddEvent access to "manage your calendar". The permission will allow AddEvent to communicate with your calendar.
- You only need to grant access once.
- 3. You have now signed into your Google account, granted access and there has been created a session.
- 4. AddEvent asks Google Calendar for permission to add an event to the accounts primary calendar. If there's an OK, AddEvent creates a temporary session and adds the event to the calendar.
- 5. And we're done. The event has now been added to the calendar.
- 6. AddEvent terminates the session and displays a confirmation (or redirect to Google Calendar).
AddEvent no longer has access to the calendar.
Using AddEvent next time
- 1. You are asked by Google to choose your account and then to sign in.
- 2. AddEvent asks Google Calendar for permission to add an event to the accounts primary calendar. If there's an OK, AddEvent creates a temporary session and adds the event to the calendar.
- 3. And we're done. The event has now been added to the calendar.
- 4. AddEvent terminates the session and displays a confirmation (or redirect to Google Calendar).
AddEvent no longer has access to the calendar.
