How to get authorization code when admin adds user app?

API and Webhooks

API Endpoint(s) and/or Zoom API Event(s)

Description
I have a team chat user app that installs successfully when the user authorizes the app. They are sent to the redirect_uri with the authorization code, which I use to get the user token and refresh token. It works great.

The error I’m running into is when an account admin for the user authorizes the app for the user (per How to add Marketplace Apps as an admin).
When the admin authorizes the app, the redirecdt_uri is never called, so my app doesn’t recieve the authorization code for the user, thus no access token. I need to the token in order for the app to function and make calls to the OAuth endpoints.

I can’t find any documentation that addresses this issue.

How can I get the users authorization code when the app is added by an admin rather than the user?

I am having the same issue. I can’t find any webhooks in the documentation that seem relevant, and the app backend does not appear to receive any calls when an admin adds an app on behalf of other users. Are users still meant to grant consent to the app (after it is installed by an admin) by going through the same OAuth consent flow as when they add it themselves?
