Updating scopes on account-level app

Zoom Apps
1

We have an account-level app and would like to update the scopes on the app after some client feedback.

Currently the app have these scopes:

  • webinar:write:admin
  • webinar:read:admin
  • user:read:admin

We would like to update the app’s scopes to:

  • webinar:write
  • webinar:read
  • user:read

Can you confirm that because we have an account-level app, we can only set the the scopes with the admin suffix? And because we cannot update an app from account-level to user-managed, then our only course is to start over with a new Zoom app?

Thanks!

Ping! Does anyone know the answer to this? :pray:

The admin scopes are for account-level or admin-managed applications; they can’t use the non-admin scopes because an individual user doesn’t have a chance to consent to them. If you can convince all your users to deauthorize your application, you might be able to change your application from admin-managed to user-managed (the radio buttons are disabled if anyone currently has the app added) — I was able to change this for a private unpublished application.

Yep, we just went ahead and created a new Zoom app with the new scopes.

Thanks.
