Hi,

Going through the API, which to use for deactivating Zoom account? I see there’s delete and disassociate.

going through the docs some more, i see there’s Update user settings, with options of activate, and deactivate. Is this what I’m looking for?

We want to integrate our off boarding so that when a person leaves the company, their zoom account is Deactivated (not deleted).

Thanks.

Hi @seric,

Yes, the update user status is to deactivate a user under an account.
