Note: We recommend to authenticate as the intended data owner of the calendar. You can use domain-wide delegation of authority to allow applications to act on behalf of a specific user. Don't use a service account for authentication. If you use a service account for authentication, the service account is the data owner, which can lead to unexpected behavior.
