Query parameters can be added to filter for active/inactive/pending users.","options":"{\"url\":\"https://api.zoom.us/v2/users\",\"content_type\":\"json\",\"method\":\"get\",\"headers\":{\"Authorization\":\"Bearer <<CREDENTIAL.zoom_s2s>>\"}}","position":{"x":180,"y":915},"type":"httpRequest","timeSavedUnit":"minutes","timeSavedValue":0,"monitorAllEvents":false,"monitorFailures":false,"monitorNoEventsEmitted":null,"recordType":null,"recordWriters":[],"form":null,"cardIconName":"httpRequest","createdFromTemplateGuid":"544f7d2d06f0501d676fad32aea5526193e59e964a48af3e6f959ee69ee50a46","createdFromTemplateVersion":null,"originStoryIdentifier":"cloud:aa47f8215c6f30a0dcdb2a36a9f4168e:d4c15df0f02ba4789095426607003199"}],"links":[],"diagramNotes":[]}
