How can I create a custom management group for editing and publishing in Zendesk?

To create a custom management group in Zendesk, you can define specific user segments that have editing and publishing rights. This allows you to have a small group of agents who can edit and view articles, while only a few specific admins can publish them.

You can set different editor and publisher permissions to achieve this. Editors will be able to edit and create articles, but only publishers can publish the changes. This setup helps maintain control over the publishing process.
