Need to be able to access the Employee Unique ID so I can match the employee number with our employee database to determine if the person has a termination date to allow de-provisioning of the Zoom account. Once the person has a termination date the username is no longer stored in the employee database so I have no way of matching the Zoom account to a person.

I would like to have this attribute returned in either of the “get a user” API calls. Preferably the scim call since that’s what I’m using to delete the account.

My only other alternative is to assume a failed lookup in the employee database means they have a termination date. I’d like a positive lookup so I don’t accidently delete accounts due to other DB lookup failures.
