I am trying to understand the difference between using SCIM API for Zoom

```auto
https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/reference/scim-api/methods/#overview

```

vs Zoom user API

```auto
https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/reference/user/methods/#operation/users

```

what would be the difference here between both of them?

It looks like both of them have

- Get all users
- Create new users
- Deactivate a user

Api. What difference would it be if we are building custom user access management?
