Hi @solomanraiii ,

Depending on the App type (Account Level or User Managed), the app needs to be authorized by either the account admin or the user. To know more, please visit: https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/build#understanding-app-types

Does this make it more clear?

Best,
Gianni

Hi the page referred to doesn’t exist anymore. I am confused about how account users link their zoom accounts to the account level app. I want to switch from user managed to account level for our app but don’t understand how the connection is made to individual accounts to schedule a meeting. Is it through the refresh token / access code that gets issued when the user installs / authorizes the app?

I have an account level app. My understanding is that it is available to any user of the account. I can use it from my account admin account but from a user account, I get a screen indicating the user account does not have the required permissions. I thought that once an app was an account level app, any user in the account could access it.
Thanks
