**Description**  
Hello,

Im trying to delete either all or some cloud recordings from any meeting, hosted by any user and the endpoint fails with a No permission error. This JWT was generated by an Admin user. This admin user was only created to manage cloud recordings, it has no meetings belonging to it. This is for a nodejs application/internal api that needs account-wide access, no user auth.

With this user, I can delete recordings via the zoom Manage Recordings browser UI

What could be happening?

Thanks in advance

**Error**

```auto
{
	"code": 200,
	"message": "No permission."
}

```

**Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?**  
JWT

**Which Endpoint/s?**  
DELETE v2/meetings/88285443629/recordings?action=trash  
or  
DELETE v2/meetings/WG3eKYJmSsm6AlN4%252BixobQ%253D%253D/recordings?action=trash  
or  
DELETE v2/meetings/WG3eKYJmSsm6AlN4%252BixobQ%253D%253D/recordings/87871e38-4132-4b7a-9a60-7572ba976850?action=trash

**How To Reproduce (If applicable)**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

```auto
> DELETE /v2/meetings/WG3eKYJmSsm6AlN4%252BixobQ%253D%253D/recordings?action=trash HTTP/2
> Host: api.zoom.us
> user-agent: insomnia/2021.7.2

> authorization: Bearer {JWT}
> accept: */*

```

```auto
{
	"code": 200,
	"message": "No permission."
}

```

**Screenshots (If applicable)**  
None

**Additional context**  
If i pass an invalid id or uuid i get a

```auto

	"code": 3301,
	"message": "This recording does not exist."
}

```

The host can delete cloud recordings

Hi Ricardo,  
Thanks for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum, I am happy to help here!  
I see that you are getting No permission message when trying to delete meeting recordings via API.  
Could you please try generating a new JWT token an try again?

I do not see why you could be getting the error because the JWT will let you delete recordings that belong to that account.

Hope this helps,  
Elisa

Hello @elisa.zoom  
Thank you for your reply.

I’ve just generated another JWT inside the Marketplace, then my JWT Account-wide App, then App Credentials, then JWT Token. I can browse the other endpoints just fine, but i still cant delete any recording. Wish i could tell you something else.

Hi @ricardo-dev  
Interesting, I would like to debug this issue further because I am not able to replicate this behavior on my end. Please send me an email to [developersupport@zoom.us](mailto:developersupport@zoom.us) with a link to this thread and in that email could you please share the email address associated to your account

Best,  
Elisa
