Quick question about OAuth scope mismatch during Zendesk-to-GC migration

  • Quick question about the specific OAuth scopes required when mapping Zendesk user roles to Genesys Cloud security profiles during a migration project.
  • We are currently migrating a mid-sized support team from Zendesk to Genesys Cloud, and the integration script is failing at the authentication stage with a 403 Forbidden error.
  • The error log explicitly states: Missing required scope: admin:security:profiles:write.
  • In Zendesk, we simply assigned the ‘Agent’ role, which handled most permissions implicitly, but Genesys Cloud seems much stricter about granular security profiles.
  • I have verified that the service account used for the migration has the admin:api:keys:read scope, but the write permission for security profiles is still causing issues.
  • Is there a known workaround for beginners who do not have full admin rights to modify global security settings?
  • We are using the Genesys Cloud Python SDK version 10.5.0, and the migration script is running in a European data center (Frankfurt).
  • Any advice on how to map Zendesk’s simpler role structure to Genesys Cloud’s more complex permission set without breaking the deployment?
