Hi Supporter

I’m trying to allow our LMS users (instructor) to view the participants info for the past meeting. I think the report API not for user (cannot authorize the report scope), what should I do?

Is user can authorize an account app?

Thanks and Best Regards,

Chen Rui

Hi @chenrui,

Thanks for reaching out out about this.

To clarify, you’re correct that our Report APIs require an Admin level scope (account-level App). It’s not possible to call an admin-level API using user-level credentials.

However, requests to these endpoints can be authenticated with credentials from either an Account Level OAuth App, or a JWT app. If you have access to your account’s JWT credentials, you could authorize your requests this way as well.

Thanks,  
Will

Hi @chenrui,

Happy to help!

If you wish to authenticate requests via JWT credentials, you’ll need to create a JWT app under your account (if one doesn’t already exist):  
[https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/build/jwt-app](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/build/jwt-app)

You can find a detailed flow on getting JWT credentials here as well:
