When retrieving the security settings for a location or for a room, the JSON payload in the response contains the following snippet (notice there are 7 values):

```json
"meeting_security":
{
    "auto_security":true,
    "waiting_room":true,
    "waiting_room_settings":{},
    "meeting_password":true,
    "require_password_for_scheduled_meeting":true,
    "rmi_password":false,
    "phone_password":true
}

```

However, [the documentation](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rooms/#tag/zoom-rooms/GET/rooms/%7Bid%7D/settings) says you should expect the following 3 settings: `encryption_type`, `end_to_end_encrypted_meetings` and `auto_security` as you can see here:

Documentation even provides a sample JSON that looks like this:

```json
  "meeting_security": {
    "encryption_type": "e2ee",
    "end_to_end_encrypted_meetings": true,
    "auto_security": true
  },

```

There seems to be a disconnect between what the API returns and what the documentation says.

For reference, here’s the request/response:

```auto

Hi @desautelsj  
Thanks for reaching out to us!  
I am able to reproduce this on my end and I can see more than the 3 documented fields. Let me reach out to our Docs team about it ( ZSEE-187152)

I just checked documentation and it was updated. Thanks for taking care if this.
