Our zoominfo and hubspot are connected currently. When I attemped to open a zoominfo contact in hubspot via the button in zoominfo I get the following Hubspot error:
Authorization failed because you don’t have permissions to authorize the scopes required by the app. Please contact your super admin to get the necessary permissions.
Do you have any idea how I can fix this? We cannot find any guidance that helps.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
Hey @MLee429, thank you for posting in our Community!
The error indicates that the ZoomInfo integration requires permissions your HubSpot user role doesn’t have. You’ll need to check with your Super Admin to ensure the necessary permissions are granted. If the permissions are correct and the issue persists, can you provide us an example?
Kindly,
Pam
Hi Pam,
Thanks for getting back to me.
When I attempt to connect hubspot with zoominfo I get a pop up message from hubspot:
Couldn’t complete the connection
Authorization failed because you don’t have permissions to authorize the scopes required by the app. Please contact your super admin to get the necessary permissions.
My admin thought he enabled all of the needed permissions so we are trying to figure out which one is not enabled that is required.
Hi,
Did anyone ever find *which* permission option needs to be enabled for this to work? I’m reviewing all the options and not sure which setting in permission controls this.
Thanks,
Danielle
Hi @dhohmeier, I hope that you are well!
Thanks for asking the HubSpot Community!
I understand that you are trying to install the “Zoom info” integration and you are getting this error message: “Couldn’t complete the connection. Authorization failed because you don’t have permissions to authorize the scopes required by the app. Please contact your super admin to get the necessary permissions.”
I can see on this article “Connect an app to your HubSpot account” that users must be either a super admin or have App Marketplace Access permissions to connect apps to their HubSpot account. In some cases, further permissions are required to connect certain apps.
If you do not have the needed permissions to connect an app, you can click “Request to install”.
In the dialog box, click the Administrator dropdown menu and select a user then, click “Send email”.
The selected account administrator will receive an email with your request for the appropriate HubSpot user permissions to connect the app.
Let me know if that helps @dhohmeier!
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Danielle,
That’s what I’m trying to figure out- I have a sales rep trying to export contacts from Zoominfo and he’s getting this connection error. If I find the solution, I’ll add it to this thread.

I am experiencing this same Zoominfo error with my sales reps. The only solution that is working is making them Super Admins, which is definitely not ideal. Turning on Marketplace permissions alone did not resolve the issue. Has anyone figured this out?

Hi Jill,
I think I figured it out! I have a rep who couldn’t export contacts from Zoominfo, but now he can. In ZoomInfo, try going to your Zoominfo Admin Portal, then go to the “App Integrations” drop-down and click “Integrations”. It should have all the apps that are connected to your account listed. Find HubSpot and click the three dots under “Actions”. Click “Settings”. There should be an “Export Preference” section- make sure you have “Service Account” selected.
The Service Account option lets users export without individually connecting HubSpot, but the initial connection still requires a Super Admin or an administrator with the required permissions.
User mapping should also be checked to preserve record ownership.
Moderator note: While this solution may not address the original poster’s specific situation, it could be helpful for other community members facing similar challenges.
Thanks for this - super helpful! I will made this change in Zoominfo. Now I’ll adjust the rep’s HubSpot permissions back and see what happens…
Let me know how it goes! This is such an aggravating thing to deal with.
