**Description**  
Hello! I’d like to ask regarding user creation. So what’s the difference between the user that created using `create` action and `custCreate` action from the ISV package? These are the differences that I got:

- `create`  
Creates account basic - where zoom sends an email for activation. Similar to users management on Zoom Dashboard.

- `custCreate`  
Creates user that is not linked to any Zoom account but still able to host a meeting using start\_url and join\_url from the Meetings API. And we are only able to create this kind of user through Users API (?)

**Which Endpoint?**  
POST /users

Hi @shabanzo,

The primary difference here is that custCreate users will not be able to login to the Zoom UI — they exist only as users that can be leveraged programmatically. They are still however associated with an account like an ordinary user.

Let me know if this helps—thanks!  
Will
