Add endpoint for multi-level settings

Hi team,

On the Meeting edit page, there’s an auto-recording checkbox. This checkbox is deactivated if certain higher-level settings (account or group settings) are preventing the feature from beeing enabled. We need to reflect the current state of this checkbox in our UI, so users who schedule meetings could see it.

Considering all levels, this would involve a series of calls from our side to check if auto-recording is eefectively enabled or disabled:

  • Retrieve account locked settings
  • Retrieve user groups
  • Retrieve the locked settings for group1…groupN
  • Retrieve user settings

Currently, the state is provided when editing a meeting, as shown below:

"autoRec":{
  "show":true,     // hidden when disabled and locked
  "value":true,
  "disabled":true, // disabled when locked
  "childParams":{...

This information comes from the GET /rest/meeting/schedule?meetingNumber=... endpoint.
(example response track id: v=2.0;clid=aw1;rid=WEB_c33bb7f4200bed92fa54aeff35e2556b)

What do you think about creating a dedicated endpoint to calculate and provide the result of such a multi-aspect state?

For example: GET /user/{userId}/meeting-scheduling-state → { auto_recording: { default: false, locked: true } } (if cloud_recording is disabled, or the auto-recording is disabled and locked on any level)
Or maybe you can add fields for existing settings response?

hi @hsintegration

This is a great point and does actaully work across many sitautions where the admin has not given access to the feature.

As I understnad it for myself, you have to get a fail and then react to that.
I will pass this one and hope for further comment.

That’s quite interesting! When you request to schedule a meeting with auto-recording, the meeting is always created. This is because setting ‘auto-recording=true’ for a meeting isn’t an issue in itself. However, it won’t actually record if another setting takes precedence over the meeting setting.

hi @hsintegration

Can you document some examples. I agree it suggests that values are being accepted in certain circumstances

all the best
