Request for Guidance on Programmatically Setting Zoom Username and Disabling User Editing

Hi team,

I need clarity on whether Zoom provides an account-level configuration that allows us to programmatically set users' usernames and prevent them from editing them when they join class using link, meeting ID and passcode.

My requirements:
We want to set each user’s display name via code when they join meeting.
We want to disable the ability for end users to modify their display name from the Zoom UI (web portal or app).
We need to understand if this is supported through existing Zoom APIs, admin settings, or any specific account configuration.
 
Can you confirm:
Whether this level of control is supported?
If yes, what exact API endpoints, account settings, or roles are required?
If no, what alternative approach you recommend to enforce a fixed username for all users?
 
Looking forward to your guidance.
 
Thank you,
Chirag Sanghvi
