While I am trying to create user, through the Zoom Rest API’s I am getting response as ‘No permission, please contact Zoom customer support’.  
{  
“code”: 2016,  
“message”: “No permission, please contact Zoom customer support.”  
}

Hi @jkdaya,

What permission does your account already have? The account that is creating the user, is it the owner?

Also, are you using any actions like custCreate when creating a user?
