# My Quizzes' OAuth Scopes

We request only the scopes that are currently needed by My Quizzes. If additional scopes are required due to the addition of new functionalities, we will need to resubmit the application to Slack. As a result, you will need to reinstall My Intros and provide consent again in order to access the new functionalities.

| Scope            | Reason                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| channels:join    | Enables the bot to automatically join a public channel upon receiving a user request.                                                                                                                                                                 |
| channels:read    | Enables the bot to read the information of a public channel and test its accessibility. This scope **doesn't** provide the bot with the ability to read messages in a channel.                                                                        |
| chat:write       | Enables the bot to send messages as "@My Quizzes" (itself), delete or update its own messages. This is a crucial capability that allows the bot to effectively communicate with users.                                                                |
| commands         | Enables the bot to support slash command features. You can view all available commands in the bot's home tab, specifically in the "About" section.                                                                                                    |
| groups:read      | Enables the bot to access the information of private channels it has been added to (excluding the channel content). This capability is necessary to retrieve the member list of the private channel.                                                  |
| users:read       | Enables the bot to access user information, including user name, time zone, locale, avatar, and status. The bot does not receive user email. User information is not stored in our database, but it may be temporarily cached to enhance performance. |
| users:read:email | Enables the bot to access user email. We will never share your email or personal information. Your email is solely used to communicate with you regarding the plan and updates.                                                                       |
