Hi there, I am trying to create a licensed zoom user using axios in nodejs.

If I use `client_credentials`, then I can a token but with that token, I cannot create a zoom user as it gives me `This API does not support client credentials for authorization`

If I use account\_credentials as grant type then I get `unsupported_grant_type `

I have created an admin managed app and trying to create licensed users…

@Sadek you will need to create a S2S Oauth App, or Oauth App (admin level) to create zoom license users.
