What API or webbook event can provide whether or not a user has a business license?

[Get user settings](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/reference/zoom-api/ma/#operation/userSettings) appears to have boolean values for specific entitlement scenarios such as `zoom_iq_for_sales`, but none translate clearly to license type.

Is this possible to retrieve?

We have some features that are only available to business users, and we want to be able to check this on behalf of the user/gate the functionality in a clean ux.

Help appreciated! 🙏

Bump.

Anyone else with this use-case that has solved it in a different way?

Open to creative ideas.

Hey @gibron  
Sorry we missed your post!  
Have you looked ito the Get a user endpoint?

> **[Zoom Meeting API](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/user)**
>
> API Reference for /docs/api/rest/reference/zoom-api/methods

In the response body, you get the field “type” with the value 1 (basic), 2 (licensed) or 99 (none / sso create users)

Hey @elisa.zoom thanks for the reply!

So [`GET /users`](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/users) seems like it would give us basic vs. licensed which is a _good_ start. But, I wonder if there is a way to get further breakdown from licensed, as I believe there are different levels of licensed eg. Pro, Business, etc. ?

We use functionality that only works for Business and up so licensed vs basic wouldn’t help there.

Hi @gibron  
Unfortunately, that is the only way to tell if a user is just licensed or basic, we do not provide more information via API or webhook events.

Feel free to open up a feature request here and tag me so I can track it down:

Has this feature request been satisfied? I would also like to obtain the API endpoint for determining a user’s specific license e.g. Zoom Workplace Business, Zoom phone, Zoom Meeting basic etc
