I’ve updated the requested scopes in my app (not yet published).

When I try to install the app now (local test or published url), it says `Invalid access token, does not contain scopes: [user:write:admin, user:read:admin, user:read, user:write, zms:user:write, user_profile, zms:user:read].` These are the old scopes. In my new config there’s only one scope.

So it seems that the oauth user screen is requesting the new scopes, but the Zoom backend is expecting the old scopes.

Is there a delay when updating scopes? Or do I need to do something else to confirm this change?

Cheers  
James

> Hi - I’m in what appears to be a catch-22 situation. I understand JWT is being phased out, so I am trying to build my integration between Salesforce and Zoom webinar functionality using oAuth. However, in order to create a webinar, it appears I need the webinar:write:admin scope, but it also appears that I cannot set this scope for an oAuth app. One workaround I found is to start building a marketplace app, which allows for scopes to be set, but just never publish/submit the app. My question i…

OK I’ve figured it out. The error indicates that it is a list of all scopes that I needed to have for an operation. But now I think it’s a list of scopes, from which I only require one?

Hey @james2,

What API are you calling that returns that error?

Thanks,
