hi,

i have an oauth app at [https://marketplace.zoom.us/develop/apps/JeIaJznZTM20yOnFuDaYIg/scope](https://marketplace.zoom.us/develop/apps/JeIaJznZTM20yOnFuDaYIg/scope)

I had requested for meeting:read, meeting:write as the app’s scope.

However, after getting a token, when i issued GET [https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/email/meetings?access\_token=](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/email/meetings?access_token=), I got this

{“code”:4700,“message”:“Invalid access token, does not contain scopes: [zms:meeting:read, meeting:read:admin, zms:meeting:write, meeting:write:admin]”}

any reason why it’s the case?

Hey @guowei.shieh,

I was able to reproduce this error.

As a work around, pass in [me](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/authorization/oauth/oauth-with-zoom#me-context) instead of the email / userId for [GET /users/{userId}/meetings](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetings) and it should work.

Thanks,  
Tommy

Update:

You must use `me` in place of userId / email for user level apis.

See “For a **user-level OAuth app** ” in the doc we just published:

Thanks,
