Can I assign users to different meetings with different role?  
For example:  
Meeting 1 - User 1 is admin, User 2 is speaker, User 3 is attendee  
Meeting 2 - User 1 is speaker, User 2 is attendee, User 3 is admin  
The same User can be with different role for different Meetings?  
And can assign Co-host / alternative host from Zoom API?

Hey @holochev,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. This is a great question! You can absolutely have one user hold different roles depending on the meeting that they are in.

If you want a user to be the host of a meeting, you can use the `schdule_for` field of the [Create a Meeting API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate) as long as you have set up [Scheduling Privileges](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362803-Scheduling-privilege) have been assigned. Alternatively, you can create an OAuth app and call the [Create a Meeting API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate) on behalf of the user that has authorized your app in order to make them the host.

On that same note, you can call the API and use the `alternative_hosts` field to assign co-hosts to the meeting.

If that user joins a meeting that they didn’t create, or they are not listed as an alternative host, they will automatically be an attendee for the meeting.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,  
Max
