The ISV program enables you to create users and meetings programmatically. This workflow demonstrates how to create an ISV compliant `custCreate` user as well as how to create and join meetings.

Endpoint: [custCreate](/docs/api/users/#tag/users/POST/users)
Granular Scopes Required: `user:write:admin`, `meeting:write:Admin`

1. When a user signs up for or is assigned to use your service, you use the [create a user API](/docs/api/users/#tag/users/POST/users) endpoint to create a Zoom user account for them.
2. For ISV, below are the required requirements for user creation\*:
    - For **action** field, the value must be custCreate.
    - For **email** field, the email format should follow the following format `{UniqueIdentifier}@ISV.{aDomainYouOwn}.com`.
    - For **type** field, the value must be 2. All users should be licensed to host a meeting.
3. The _id_ returned should be saved to your user table and associated with the user. When this user interacts with the Zoom platform you will use this _id_.
