I’ve had a look on the API documentation, and for other posts on the DevForum, but can’t find any detail relating to the types of roles that exist when creating a role using API.

This endpoint: [Meeting API](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/meeting-sdk/apis/#operation/createRole)

“Type” doesn’t give any clue as to the types of roles available. Is this a free text box?  
If I use the API to create a role without setting this field, this comes back as “common” on the confirmation output.  
On the documentation it shows “iq” as the example.

Is there a list of what role types exist, and what they’re for somewhere?

Hi @philip.ross  
Thanks for reaching out to us!  
If you query the [Get/Roles](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/meeting-sdk/apis/#operation/roles) endpoints, you will be able to see what roles you have available in your account

Some of these roles you can actually create them via the Webportal or via API

> **[Meeting API](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/meeting-sdk/apis/#operation/createRole)**

Hope this helps!  
Elisa

Thanks Elisa,

I spotted after a while that they’re listed on this endpoint explicitely:
