Agent License for Chat in Zendesk Workspace

Discover the type of agent license needed for chat in Zendesk Agent Workspace and why full licenses are necessary.

What type of agent license is needed for chat in Zendesk Agent Workspace?

To access chat features in Zendesk Agent Workspace, a full agent license is required. Light agents do not have the capability to access chats within the Agent Workspace, which means if you want your agents to handle chat interactions, they must have a full agent license.

This requirement is part of the limitations of the Agent Workspace, and if chat-only functionality is needed, you may need to explore other options or revert to the older version of Zendesk Support and Chat.
