Whenever I try to update the admin api permission I get the following error:
Shopify needs to approve the following access scopes: read_all_cart_transforms.
But there isn’t a access scope called “read_all_cart_transforms”
Can somebody help me out?
Topic summary
Issue: Attempting to update Admin API permissions triggers an error stating Shopify must approve access scopes: “read_all_cart_transforms,” but this scope does not appear in available/documented scopes.
Impact: Prevents changing Admin API access scopes for affected apps.
Evidence: A participant shared a screenshot showing the exact error during scope updates.
Context: “Access scopes” are the permissions an app requests to interact with Shopify’s Admin API. The referenced scope is not visible to developers in the permissions list.
Tried/Workarounds: One user reports resolving the block by recreating the app and re-adding the required permissions. No configuration-based fix was identified.
Status: Unresolved/ongoing. No official guidance or confirmation from Shopify in the thread; the issue may stem from a misconfigured or hidden scope requirement.
Open questions: Why is a non-existent scope being required? Is a Shopify-side approval or bug involved? Any permanent fix beyond recreating the app remains unknown.

Any luck resolving this? We are experiencing the same problem where we cannot change the Admin API access scopes
My ‘solution’ was that I recreated the app..and added the permissions again.
