There are 5 types of apps from marketplace that I can choose to create.

- JWT
- OAuth
- Chatbot
- SDK
- Webhook Only

However, only OAuth app creation has the options of “Account-level app” and “User-managed app”. According to the detailed description of the difference between Account-level and User-managed apps

> [@OAuth app -- Account-level or User-managed?](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/oauth-app-account-level-or-user-managed/41952):

> We are implementing a Zoom integration with Linvio events. Our Zoom account is set up with 4 Licensed Webinar users with the role Member. Our Admins are all IT and Basic user types because they don’t actually set up any of our webinars. We want to be able to set up one Zoom app to integrate that any of these 4 folks can use when setting up a webinar in Linvio. Is this possible? Do I set the app up as account-level or user-managed? Thanks. Kim

Question:

1. Is it possible for the end user to choose Account-level or User-managed when creating apps (listed above) other than OAuth app. It seems all of them are “Account-level” by default ?
2. When I created an OAuth app as “Account-level”, is it possible to switch it to “User-managed” later?

Thanks a lot !

Hey @szhang,

Great questions! Your understanding so far is correct.

> 1. Is it possible for the end user to choose Account-level or User-managed when creating apps (listed above) other than OAuth app. It seems all of them are “Account-level” by default ?

That’s right—only our OAuth Apps offer a user level vs account level option. The rest of our app types (JWT, Chatbot, Webhook Only, etc.) are all account level.

> 1. When I created an OAuth app as “Account-level”, is it possible to switch it to “User-managed” later?

Unfortunately, no. If you wish to change to user level at a later time, this would require building a new, separate OAuth App.

Let us know if you have additional questions about any of this.

Best,  
Will
