How to change a phone user's level of access to call recordings
You can change whether a phone user has access to play, download, or delete call recordings. By default, phone users can play, download, or delete their own ad hoc recordings (recordings started using in-call controls).
You can only change this setting for ad hoc or automatic recordings at the phone user level. You can't change this setting at the site or account level.
Note: To enable or disable ad hoc or automatic recording for phone users, see the Zoom Phone policy settings.
- Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
- In the navigation menu, click Phone System Management then Users & Rooms.
- Click the name of the phone user.
- Click the Policy tab.
- Scroll down to the Automatic Call Recording or Ad Hoc Call Recording setting.
- Click Access Manage Member List.
- On the far right of the user's name you want to make changes, click the ellipsis button (...), then click one of these options:
- Remove: Remove all access for the selected phone user.
- Edit Permission: Change the existing permissions. Click the check boxes to specify if the phone user can download or delete recordings. The permission to access call recordings is granted by default.
Note: If a phone user is allowed to delete a recording, deleted recordings are deleted for all phone users including the owner of the recording.
