what is delegation credentials in codebase?

[dosubot[bot]]

Delegation credentials in a codebase refer to a service account key used alongside a user's email to impersonate that user, allowing read/write access to their calendar for availability and event creation. In Cal.com, the DelegationCredential model in the schema.prisma file manages these credentials, including fields for service account keys, organization details, and associated calendars. This setup allows different service accounts for different organizations, although typically they remain the same across organizations. Delegation credentials provide access to a user's email in Google Calendar but do not replace regular credentials, which are needed for other email calendars ^[1][2].
