My integration manages user profiles, how can I accomplish this in Spark Meet with Webex?

Because user management APIs are limited for Spark Meet with Webex, it is recommended that you disable and hide user management functionality in your integration when used with Spark Meet with Webex sites. Alternately, you could publish requirements that suggest Spark Meet with Webex is officially unsupported by your integration. In either case, appropriate notification should be published before confirming official support for Webex WBS30 and/or Spark Meet with Webex.

Will these changes affect my existing Webex site that was upgraded to WBS30?

Existing sites that have been upgraded will not be affected by the changes. Only new sites purchased as Spark Meet with Webex will have the above differences in the API.
