Hi Alex,
This isn't something that's documented very well at the moment, I'm afraid.
To answer your question: If you authenticate as the domain
administrator, you can access any user's calendar by using the feed
URL:
http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/<user email here>/private/full
For group calendars, you'll need to know the calendar's address
beforehand, but otherwise uses the same format.
At the moment it's not possible to look up the group calendars owned
by a user, but there is an issue open to track this here:
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=772
Alternatively, another option is to just add a button that
auto-creates the event on the user's calendar. If you go with this
option, there's no need to authenticate as the domain administrator,
since the add request is actually performed by the user's browser, so
their existing auth cookie can be reused (or the user can be prompted
to login if that cookie doesn't exist).
To do this, you can use the Event Publisher tool here:
http://www.google.com/googlecalendar/event_publisher_guide.html#individual
Or just create a URL for the user to click, following these guidelines:
