1Group userGroup = [SELECT Id FROM Group WHERE Name = 'Sales Group' LIMIT 1];
2List<Id> groupId = new List<Id>();
3groupId.add(userGroup.id);
4List<GroupMember> groupMembers = [SELECT UserOrGroupId FROM GroupMember
5   WHERE GroupId IN: groupId];
6
7List<CalendarView> calendarViews = new List<CalendarView>();
8for (GroupMember groupMember : groupMembers) {
9   CalendarView calendarView = new CalendarView(name = 'Opportunity Close
10    Dates', SobjectType = 'Opportunity', StartField = 'CloseDate', DisplayField =
11    'Name', OwnerId = groupMember.UserOrGroupId);
12   calendarViews.add(calendarView);
