I’ve seen this when calling user based endpoint with the userid and not ME in the url for oauth based applications.

Hey @sumitonemail2,

Does your app include the `user:write:admin` scope in your marketplace settings?

Thanks,  
Tommy

Hey @jcoutu,

For user level oauth app correct, but you the endpoint @sumitonemail2 is referring to is an account level with no path params. 🙂

Thanks,  
Tommy

Hi @tommy!

I’m having the same issue, I have an account level app with these scopes:  
“dashboard\_meetings:read:admin meeting:read:admin meeting:write:admin user:read:admin user:write:admin”

But when trying to create a new user through the [https://api.zoom.us/v2/users](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users) endpoint I get this message:  
{“code”:4700,“message”:“Invalid access token, does not contain scopes: [user:write:admin, user:write, zms:user:write].”}

Can you help me figure out what I need?

Thank you!

Hey @nicolaskneler,

Can you try reinstalling your OAuth app?

Let me know if that fixes the issue.

Thanks,  
Tommy
