Google Apps Calendar shows "Busy" instead of sharing full, more details
We're building a multi-user platform where each registered user has a Google App account with their e-mail and calendar.
People can add to the events to the calendar, but the entry always show "Busy" instead of displaying the full event details.
How do I get the calendar to share and show more than just "Busy" and list the event name?
Answer
First log into your Google Apps domain admin account. The organization admin url is https://google.com/a/yourdomainname.com
Go to Apps > Calendar > Sharing Settings or here (substitute your domain): https://admin.google.com/yourdomainname.com/AdminHome?fral=1#AppDetails:service=Calendar
Choose Share all information, but outsiders cannot change calendars
Then log into the user account with the calendar.
The new setting took 5 minutes before it took affect on the user accounts. I logged out and back in a couple times, refreshed, etc. Eventually the Calendar share settings on the user accounts will allow you to change the default "See only free/busy (hide details)" choice to "See all event details" and you're done.
