Hi,
When getting a user’s information(using the “me” endpoint), it looks like user’s role is not returned? Specifically, we want to know whether a user is in admin role or not. How to do that?
Thanks in advance and regards
Navin
Hi @navinmishra,
You can use the roles API.
- https://api.zoom.us/v2/roles - To find the type of role
- https://api.zoom.us/v2/roles/{role_id}/members - To see if the user is an admin for the role.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks
Thanks for your reply, @michael_p.zoom . What I discovered it that when I use my admin account access token to fetch the members for a role, I get the following error -
{
“code”: 124,
“message”: “Invalid access token, does not contain scopes: [role:write:admin, role:read:admin]”
}
However, when configuring scopes for my app, I don’t see the “role” scopes listed there.
What am I missing ?
FWIW, I can use the API successfully when I use the api key and api secret using the jwt. But I need to be able to access the api using the access token.
Could you help please ?
Thanks much,
Rajeev.
Hi @michael_p.zoom,
I also happen to have admin privileges -
Still, an access token obtained with my privileges doesn’t seem to have access to the “roles” api. Also, I don’t see the necessary scopes listed to be included for my app.
Is there anything else that I’m missing ?
Thanks,
Rajeev.
Rather than getting the user’s role, (or as the API calls it: “getting the members of a role”), I would think you care more about the permissions that a user has. Specifically, if you want people who can perform specific actions, then you can retrieve the permissions directly via: https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/userpermission

I am account level admin and I dont see role:write:admin role:read:admin in scope.
