Is there a way to manage my meeting’s waiting room via API?

Here’s an example of what I’d like the API to do:  
participant1 = admit  
participant2 = deny  
participant3 = admit

I saw previous posts on various forums asking about a feature like this, but they were from 2020 and the response was there is no feature like this yet. Does anyone know if this is possible now?

Thanks!

Wanted to bump this post with the same request, it would be very useful to be able to admit/kick users from a meeting via the API rather than having to depend on JS methods.

This is still not working when using the Update a registrant’s status API endpoint as of 4/5/24, the registrant status can successfully be approved/cancelled/denied, but it has no effect on their presence in the meeting.
