What permissions does a Zoom Access Token grant?

API and Webhooks
1

I’m working on an application that helps users start their Zoom meetings without manually logging into Zoom. An hour before the meeting is scheduled to begin, we email the start_url to the meeting host.

If I understand correctly, the Zoom Access Token (ZAK) at the end of the start_url is what enables a user to start and host the meeting without logging in. Does the ZAK give the user any other abilities? For example, if a user who is not logged into the Zoom Client (desktop) or Zoom Web Client (at zoom.us) clicks a meeting’s start_url, will they then be able to update their account settings via either the desktop or web client?

Hi @IsaacD,

The ZAK token is used for starting/joining meetings. These will not allow users access to the Web UI on behalf of another account.

Let me know if this helps to clarify, thanks!
Will
