**Description**  
I am using this API to receive the users object [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/users](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/users)  
when I look at the `type` field I see the options can be 1,2, 3 and 99.  
What I understand is when it says 2 it means there is a paid license plan, what does `on-prem` mean?  
What kind of plan is it in zoom?

**Error**  
I don’t undersatnd what the difference is between 2 and 3

**Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?**  
OAuth

**Which Endpoint/s?**

Hi @Dev_Torii ,

Zoom On-Premise deployments, allow organizations to deploy meeting connector virtual machines within their internal company network. In doing so, user and meeting metadata are still managed in the Zoom public cloud. However, all meeting traffic (video, voice, in-meeting chat, and data sharing) is hosted in the organization’s private cloud through the On-Premise Meeting Connector, Virtual Room Connector, and Recording Connector. You can read more on this here 🙂 :
