### 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: ```auto 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 _Scope_checkbox 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!

@Mircea that is a classic scope, you will now need to look at granular scope.[Granular scopes - Integrations - Zoom Developer Docs](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/integrations/oauth-scopes-granular/)
