How do I create user segments in Zendesk Guide?

User segments in Zendesk Guide are the building blocks for setting user permissions. They are groups of agents and end users defined by specific attributes. By default, there are two built-in user segments: 'Signed-in users' and 'Agents and managers'.

You can create custom user segments based on tags, organizations, and groups in the Admin Center. This allows you to refine user groupings further to suit your needs. For a step-by-step guide, refer to the section on creating user segments in the Zendesk documentation.
