Hi

I’m creating a webhook-only app to automate business processes. I only want to know when meetings are created. I’m going through the App set up process and can validate my webhook URL. But when I try add event types, they are all greyed out saying that the account doesn’t have the required permissions.

But, in my admin account, I can’t find how/where to give the user account any scopes.

The only articles/posts I can find about scopes have to do with OAuth apps.

Can anyone shed some light on how I grant a user the meeting.create scope?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Admin_NK_SSE  
Thanks for reaching out to us and welcome to our Zoom Developer Forum.  
Are you an account admin? or what role do you have?  
Your role has to have the right permission to see these events. So make sure your admin goes into the Admin Tab \> User Management \> Roles and edit the Role settings to the role you have  
In this case if they can enable the Users view permission, that will enable the events on your end

Thanks. Using my admin account, I granted the permission to the relevant user account and can now add the meeting events.
