Hello guys, i’m using REST API to create Recurring Meetings with and without fixed time. I need to only allow joining users with a certain Email and disable the Join directly fom the Meeting ID(join link). I’m not sure if this is the right way but i read about MEETING REGISTRANTS and i tried to add a registrant via API but i’m getting this error:

Client error: `POST&nbsp;[https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/{meeting\_id}/registrants`]([https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/{meeting\_id}/registrants`](https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/%7Bmeeting_id%7D/registrants%60))&nbsp;resulted in a `400 Bad Request` response:  
{“code”:200,“message”:“Only available for Paid user: {id of admin user registered on my&nbsp;zoom account}”}

I have a&nbsp;Basic Plan (Free) account with a 60 days trial developer period and i saw this on one of the documentation pages:

Registration For Meetings

Prerequisites

- **Host user type must be Pro**
- The meeting you are enabling registration for cannot use&nbsp;your&nbsp;[PMI](https://devforum.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362843-What-is-Personal-Meeting-ID-PMI-and-Personal-Vanity-URL-PVU-)

Does this mean that I can’t do it because i don’t have a Pro plan or is there another reason?

Thanks in advance!
