Hey there, I am from my college IT department but have zero experience or knowledge with APIs, and it seems the Rest API is changing users roles.

I am not even sure who set up this API but probably one of our partners which we will contact, however I would like help stopping or controlling this behavior from happening by ourselves if possible.

If Anyone could provide some kind of support because zoom support just sent me to this forum 😕

Thanks in advance

Hi @tiltan.zoom  
Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the Zoom Developer Forum!  
If you have admin level access to the account, you could go into the Web portal, under Admin tab \> User Management \> Roles and there might be a Developer Role., that way you would be able to identify who created the app that is making API requests
