**Description** I’ve written a script that generates a new meeting on my account. Very simple. I’d like to be able to run that script whenever I want, so I can easily paste a new meeting into chat without having to click any buttons. In order to do this, I’ve set up a JWT app with my organization. However, as far as I can tell, those JWT creds are _required_ to be admin creds. I do not want admin creds, I only want to be able to create meetings for my account and no one else’s. So, I looked at the OAuth options, but an OAuth’d app has to refresh credentials on the regular or you have to to re-auth. If I’m only running this script a couple times a day, I really don’t want to have to re-signin every time. Is it possible to do what I want? Have persistent credentials on my machine that are not admin credentials? Alternatively, is there a way I can script the zoom app itself to give me the meeting I want? I’m already signed in persistently there, so if I could just ask it to spit a valid meeting id at me that would solve my problem. Cheers, -MacRae **Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?** JWT, presently, but that’s kind of the issue. **Which Endpoint/s?** POST /users/{userid}/meeting ---

Hey @macrael, Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. Currently, we don’t support user-level JWT credentials. On that same note, there isn’t a supported way to script a Zoom client in order to create a meeting. If you would like this feature to be considered for a future release, I recommend posting in the #feature-requests category. Thanks, Max ---

Thank you Max, so does that mean there’s no way to accomplish what I want here? No way to have a script on my machine that can generate meetings without admin credentials? The way to do it currently would be to write an application that performed OAuth to log me in? ---

Hey @macrael, Thank you for your question. That’s correct. Either you can use a [JWT App](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/jwt) that offers account-level access or you can use an [OAuth App](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/oauth) that would allow you to scope access but would require that you keep your `access_token` up-to-date or consistently re-authorize your application. If you did write a local script to accomplish this, then you could write a daemon-style application that runs in the background and automatically uses the `refresh_token` to keep the authorization valid. However, it’s important to note that without publishing an OAuth app to the marketplace, it can only be installed by users on your account. I hope that helps! 🙂 Thanks, Max ---
