Why does zoom asks for permissions it already has (calender access)

When I schedule a meeting (university account) and add it to my calendar (private gmail account), it asks for "additional" permissions every single time, even though zoom has full access to that calendar according to my google account security settings. Every time I confirm the permissions, but it does not seem to stick. How can I avoid that popup?

Obviously this forum is a wasteland! No reply after almost a month.

Here's the popup I get every single time. It does not tell me what "additional" permission it needs and there is no option to make those permanent.

For anyone else who has this issue, since it appears that Zoom can't afford a community manager and this was the first search result, the answer posted on google's support forums worked for me, I was logged in to multiple work (gsuite) accounts and a personal account. Answer from their forums below:

I had the same problem, removing permissions through https://myaccount.google.com/permissions didn't help. Fortunately found a problem with me being logged to many Google accounts at the same time (I mean https://myaccount.google.com/u/0/permissions and https://myaccount.google.com/u/1/permissions) - the Account I was trying to authorize Zoom to use was the /u/1/. In my case it helped to login in separate browser session to single Google account only and authorize then. With Zoom being authorized, I can now continue to be logged to several Google Accounts and use Zoom integration properly.

Sharing, as this might help others too.
