Hi, I am trying to create a user for use on Zoom Rest API, but I do not understand what is the procedure.

Should I assign the permission of developer for the user in the Web UI?

> **[Sign In | Zoom](https://zoom.us/signin)**
>
> Sign in to your Zoom account to join a meeting, update your profile, change your settings, and more!

I just need that my unprivileged user has access to read information from meetings but not the permission to create meetings. I read about scopes in the Build App functionality in Zoom Market Place, bu I do not understand how my user can get his own token and do not have the possibility to create his own app.

Regards,  
Jhonatan

Hi @jmha , please use role management to set specific permissions for user:

[https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm\_kb&sysparm\_article=KB0060684](https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0060684)

Once they have the appropriate permissions, they can access read-only endpoints for the areas of the Zoom platform you’ve designated using role/permissions management.
