I'm trying to access & write my dummy calendar make new functionality of the website but something prevents me from making changes to my dummy calendar.

So far when I try to used this code:

$event = $calendar->calendars->get(xxxxxx.com_dsjiub0krm61i5vu1mvee8rh9o@group.calendar.google.com);


The result is similar to the Googles Calendar's API explore.

My Calendar API

$calendarId2 = 'xxxxxx.com_dsjiub0krm61i5vu1mvee8rh9o@group.calendar.google.com';

 $jobname = "Tesla";
 $joblocation = "USA";
 $jobdescription = "Interview with Elon Musk.";
 $startofjob = "2019-03-29T10:00:00.000+00:00";
 $endofjob = "2019-03-30T18:00:00.000+00:00";

 try 
 $client = GetGoogleClient();
 $calendar = new Google_Service_Calendar($client);

 $event = new Google_Service_Calendar_Event(array(
 'summary' => $jobname,
 'location' => $joblocation,
 'description' => $jobdescription,
 'end' => array(
 'dateTime' => $endofjob,
 'timeZone' => 'Asia/Manila',
 ),
 'start' => array(
 'dateTime' => $startofjob,
 'timeZone' => 'Asia/Manila',
 ),
 ));

 $event = $calendar->events->insert($calendarId2, $event);
 
 catch(Exception $e) 
 return ["error" => $e->getMessage()];
 

The message would always say this "You need to have writer access to this calendar." even though I have shared the calendar to the Service Account with permission Make changes to events or Make changes and manage sharing

Additional info

function GetGoogleClient()
 $client = new Google_Client();
 //$client->setAuthConfig($credentialsFile);
 $client->addScope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive", Google_Service_Sheets::SPREADSHEETS);
 $client->addScope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar");
 //$client->addScope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events"); //same error result event with or without
 $client->setAuthConfig(CONST_GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY);
 $client->setSubject(CONST_GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL);
 $client->useApplicationDefaultCredentials();
 return $client;

"You need to have writer access to this calendar."

You may have shared it with the service account but did you give it write access? or just read access? I think you should double check this its normally the cause of the issue. Remember this is only going to give it access to this one calendar.

Also i think you should check your scopes just use

$client->addScope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar");

I think they are clobbering each other. Take a step back make sure calendar works then add your drive stuff
