Cannot access “write” scopes (meeting:write:admin, user:write:admin) for Server-to-Server OAuth app — only “read” scopes visible

Zoom Apps

Hello Zoom Developer Team,

I’m the account Owner on a Zoom Workplace Business plan, and I’m attempting to integrate Zoom with Tutor LMS (WordPress) using a Server-to-Server OAuth app.

When I create a new Server-to-Server OAuth app in the Marketplace, I only see read-level scopes such as:

meeting:read:admin  
user:read:admin

However, the write-level scopes (meeting:write:admin, user:write:admin) never appear in the “Add Scopes” list — even though I’m the Owner on a Business account and have full admin privileges.

Steps I’ve tried:

  1. Logged in as the Owner (verified under Account Profile).

  2. Created several new Server-to-Server OAuth apps in incognito/private mode.

  3. Tested multiple browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox).

  4. Verified I’m on the Zoom Workplace Business plan (formerly Business / Zoom One Business).

  5. Created a custom “Developer Admin” role with Zoom for Developers → View/Edit enabled (the Scopecheckbox is no longer selectable).

  6. Cleared caches and waited 24 hours for permissions to propagate.

Despite all of this, I still can’t assign any write/manage scopes under Meetings or User.
It looks like the “Scope” permission column has been deprecated or disabled under the new Zoom Workplace interface.

What I need:

Please confirm whether:

  • The write-level scopes are currently disabled or hidden for Workplace Business accounts,

  • There is a backend flag that needs to be enabled by Zoom Support to allow access,

  • Or if these scopes have been renamed under the new granular permissions model (and what their new equivalents are).

Environment:

  • Account Type: Zoom Workplace Business

  • Role: Owner

  • App Type: Server-to-Server OAuth

  • Integration: Tutor LMS (WordPress plugin using Zoom API)

  • Issue: Only “read” scopes visible — no “write/manage” options under Meetings or User.

Any insight or confirmation from Zoom engineers would be appreciated — this issue prevents Zoom-based course sessions from being created via API inside Tutor LMS.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi @Miami_Lakes_Ac
Thanks for reaching out to us and sorry for the late reply here!
Have you been able to resolve this on your end? Are you able to see the scopes you need ?
