To approve Don't Double Book Me, mark it as a trusted app in the Google Admin console. Go to Security, Access and data control, API controls, open Manage Third-Party App Access, add the app by its OAuth client ID, and choose Trusted. The app only requests access to each signed-in user's own calendars and email address. It takes about five minutes.
Not an admin? Read what to do when Google says "Access blocked" instead.
Don't Double Book Me keeps a person's calendars in sync so they don't get double booked. When an event is added to one calendar, a matching busy block is created on the other. It works across Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook, and it's used by people who juggle a work calendar and a personal one.
A few things worth knowing before you review the scopes:
These are the Google OAuth scopes users see on the consent screen and why each one is needed.
| Scope | Shown to users as | Why it's needed |
|---|---|---|
| calendar.events | View and edit events on all your calendars | Read the user's events and create, update, or remove the busy blocks it syncs. |
| calendar.readonly | See and download any calendar you can access using your Google Calendar | List the user's calendars so they can pick which ones to sync. |
| userinfo.email | See your primary Google Account email address | Identify the account by email so the user can tell their connections apart. |
| openid | Associate you with your personal info on Google | Standard sign-in scope. |
You'll need the Service Settings admin privilege, which super admins have. Copy the app's OAuth client ID first:
185041304191-a9vvigiq03d1bfk5stq9s86ml2cq4tu4.apps.googleusercontent.com
Sign in to the Google Admin console.
Go to Security › Access and data control › API controls, and select Manage Third-Party App Access.
Next to Configured apps, select View list, then Add app › OAuth App Name or Client ID.
Paste the client ID, select Search, and select Don't Double Book Me. Check its client ID and select Select.
Choose who it applies to: your whole organization, or specific organizational units or groups.
Choose Trusted and select Configure.
If Calendar is set to Restricted under Google services, only Trusted apps can use it. Limited access isn't enough.
Already see Don't Double Book Me under Accessed apps because someone tried to sign in? Point to it, select Change access, choose Trusted, and select Change.
The person who asked can go back to Don't Double Book Me, choose Sign up with Google or Add Google Calendar account again, and sign in. Google can take a little while to apply the change, so if they're still blocked, have them wait a few minutes and try again. Each user still connects their own account, so nothing is synced until they set it up.
To revoke access later, change the app's access to Blocked under Manage Third-Party App Access. Users can also disconnect their own account from within Don't Double Book Me, or remove it from their Google Account's third-party connections, at any time.
