Management of users can be done by both account owners and admins by adding, removing, and assigning roles and add-on features to their users. There are a few terms to be familiar with before we get started:

• Zoom users that are internal to your account are considered internal users.
• The term “external users” is used to describe others who use your account but do not belong to it.
• A Zoom external contact is someone who has been added by an internal user to their contact directory who is an external Zoom user.

You need to meet the following requirements in order to manage users in your Zoom account

• Using a Credit Card, Professional, Business, Educational, or Enterprise account is free
• when you are the account owner or administrator

The process of accessing the user management section

1. As an account owner or admin, you need to sign into Zoom’s web portal.
2. Select User Management from the navigation menu, then click Users from the drop-down menu.
   A new tab will appear showing the following information:
   • Users: These are the users who are currently logged into the account. The following steps can be taken:
     • There are three types of account (Basic, Licensed, and On-Prem). Change the account type of each user, or department.
     • You can add a user at a time by either adding them one by one or importing a CSV file, which you can use to add multiple users.
     • Import CSV files to add multiple users.
     • Admin users can be set or custom roles can be assigned if you are the admin
   • Pending: You can invite people to join Zoom for free but you need to activate their accounts before you can use it.
   • Advanced: Changing several users at once, seeing user statistics, and changing multiple users at once.

Note: In order for any member to be promoted to an admin or a delegated from an admin to a member, the account owner must do so.

   • User Type: You can choose to make this user a free user, a licensed user, or an on-premises user. It is imperative that you purchase licenses in advance before assigning a Licensed User. Meeting Connector must be enabled in order to assign an On-Premise user.
     There is a list of available add-ons, such as Large Meetings and Webinars, below the User Type options. Click the checkbox beside each feature you wish the user to be able to access. These features must be licensed so that the user can access them.

Notes:

• A confirmation email will be sent to new users. In the case where you already have existing Zoom accounts under the same email address, you will receive an invitation that can be accepted with the help of the email.
• As the owner of a paid account, you will be required to decide how you want to handle any remaining balances in your account as well. Further information is available regarding the invitation process, including how to accept invitations and how to achieve best results.

  • Scheduled meetings and webinars
  • Cloud recordings
  • IM history
  • Contacts
  • Settings
    The settings may be changed if they conflict with the settings of the account you are joining or with group settings.

It is recommended that persons accept the account invitation before they download and access any necessary reports, as the data will not be transferred. All IM history from before joining the account is transferred with the user and accessible to the user. However, the admins of the new account have no access to IM history from the old account.
