Customizing Guide Admin Roles in Zendesk

Learn about the limitations of customizing Guide admin roles in Zendesk and how to participate in feature requests.

Can I customize Guide admin roles in Zendesk?

Currently, Zendesk does not offer granular customization for Guide admin roles.

While you can create custom management permissions, Guide admins are always included under 'Edit permissions' and 'Publish permissions' by default. This means you cannot restrict their access to editing and publishing. If you have specific needs for role customization, consider participating in Zendesk's feature request discussions to share your use case and potentially influence future updates.
