The OAuth app is now created in Zoom and ready to use when connecting SaaS Alerts.

To connect SaaS Alerts to Zoom, complete the following steps:

1. In SaaS Alerts, navigate to Organizations and select the organization you want to connect.

   

2. Click the edit icon.

   

3. Click + New Application.

   

4. Select Zoom under Customer Apps.

   

5. Enter the credentials from the Zoom OAuth app you created, then click Finish.

   

SaaS Alerts is now connected to Zoom and will begin monitoring user sign-in and sign-out activity for the selected organization.

To disable the Zoom integration in SaaS Alerts, complete the following steps:

1. In SaaS Alerts, navigate to Organizations and select the organization connected to Zoom.

   

2. Click the edit icon.

   

3. Click the Zoom application tile.

4. Click Disconnect Application.

   

SaaS Alerts will no longer monitor Zoom activity for the selected organization.

The three scopes allow SaaS Alerts to retrieve user activity reports and user lists from Zoom. report:read:user_activities:master and report:read:user_activities:admin provide access to sign-in and sign-out activity logs. user:read:list_users:admin allows SaaS Alerts to enumerate users in the account. No write permissions are requested.

SaaS Alerts monitors Zoom user sign-in and sign-out events. These events are surfaced as security alerts in SaaS Alerts to support compliance and oversight of user activity across the organization.

Server-to-Server OAuth apps allow SaaS Alerts to authenticate directly with Zoom without requiring a user to authorize the connection through a browser. This is the appropriate method for service-to-service integrations where ongoing automated access is required.
