The link I used is:  
[https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/authorize?client\_id=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx&scope=crm.lists.read%20crm.objects.contacts.read%20crm.schemas.contacts.read%20crm.objects.companies.read%20crm.objects.deals.read%20crm.schemas.companies.read%20crm.schemas.deals.read%20crm.objects.owners.read&redirect\_uri=https://www.example.com/](https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx&scope=crm.lists.read%20crm.objects.contacts.read%20crm.schemas.contacts.read%20crm.objects.companies.read%20crm.objects.deals.read%20crm.schemas.companies.read%20crm.schemas.deals.read%20crm.objects.owners.read%20oauth&redirect_uri=https://www.example.com/)  
It only asks for read permissions for CRM tables and I have tested it in several test accounts(free account) and it worked well. However, it is giving the error shown in the title for one of the accounts I was trying to connect to(that account could be of a higher tier, but I don’t think this should be a problem). Did I miss anything about the scope name in my link? Thanks in advance for any help. I tried all sorts of things on my side but cannot even reproduce this issue.

Turns out to be caused by formatting issue. The “%20” is translated to white space and the white space is translated to new line during copy and paste of the link. The scope name gets messed up because of that.
