Creating Custom Talk Roles in Zendesk: Is It Possible?

Learn about the limitations of creating custom Talk roles in Zendesk and how to provide feedback for future enhancements.

Can I create a custom Talk role in Zendesk?

Currently, Zendesk does not support creating custom roles for Zendesk Talk. If you have agents who are skilled enough to support or train others but don't want them to have Admin access, this can be a limitation.

However, Zendesk values customer feedback and encourages users to share their needs and suggestions. You can participate in the Voice of the Customer program or engage with the community in the General Product Feedback topic. Providing specific examples and details can help influence future product developments. For more information, you can review the Product feedback guidelines.
