Hey @defconalert11,

Are you using an [OAuth App access\_token](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/app-types/create-oauth-app) or [JWT App JWT Token](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/app-types/create-jwt-app) as your authentication for the Create User endpoint?

Thanks,  
Tommy

Hi,  
It gives me the same error when executing this

```
    $curl = curl_init();
    curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
        CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.zoom.us/v2/accounts/{userid}/plans?access_token={access_token}",
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
        CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
        CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
        CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
        CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
        CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
            "authorization: Bearer JWT",
            "content-type: application/json"
        ),
    ));
    
    $response = curl_exec($curl);
    $err = curl_error($curl);
    
    curl_close($curl);

```

Thanks

Hi @jgh00003,

Just verifying, the account that you’re using, is it a master account? Otherwise, you’ll get that error. You could try the same with the different endpoint such as list users - [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/users](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/users).

Thanks
