I have an issue where im trying to create a group to allow admins to download Zoom Recordings and block everyone else. I blocked cloud recording on the Everyone group and locked the setting. I created a separate group to allow recording downloads and added admins to this new group. I removed the admins from the Everyone group.

Yet i still cannot have admins download recordings. As soon as i enable the policy on the everyone group, admins can download again. Regular users i put into my recording downloads group CAN download recordings. I am not sure what is going on but admins seem to ONLY adhere to policies applied to the Everyone group, even though they arent members.

Admin accounts do NOT have a Zoom Workspace license, if that maybe the cause. I tried assigning a license and testing downloads but no change.
