Hey @tushars, Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. Are you using the [Create a User API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/usercreate) or the [Get a User API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/user) when you see this error? In other words, when making the request are you using a GET method or a POST method? If you are trying to retrieve a user under your account, make sure that you have created them on you account either with the Zoom Web Portal or the [Create a User API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/usercreate). Let me know if that helps. Thanks, Max ---

@MaxM Hello I am attaching my code snippet ![Snippet](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/e/8/e87505762929e8f7e9a82d412e638e62775b381c.png) In this snippet suppose [ABC@gmail.com](mailto:ABC@gmail.com) is my Zoom account in which I created a JWT app where I get Secret and app key using those key should different user([XYZ@gmail.com](mailto:XYZ@gmail.com) or any other user id) can create meeting ?

Hey @tushars, Thanks for providing more information on what you’re doing. If you are using a [JWT App](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/jwt), user [xyz@gmail.com](mailto:xyz@gmail.com) must be a user under your Zoom account. If you wanted to query the API on behalf of another user then that’s where you would want to use a published [OAuth App](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/oauth). In other words, with JWT you won’t be able to use the [Get a User API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/user) or the [Create a Meeting API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate) with users that weren’t created under your account. You may find our article on [managing users](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201363183-Managing-users) to be useful. Thanks, Max ---
