Dedicated Integration User in Zendesk for Jira

Understand the benefits and requirements of using a dedicated integration user for Zendesk Support for Jira integration.

What is the dedicated integration user option in Zendesk Support for Jira?

The dedicated integration user option in Zendesk Support for Jira creates a new, verified admin user specifically for the integration. This user account is fully managed by the integration and is used for all commenting and field sync actions, ensuring they are performed by the integration user rather than the admin who set it up.

This option requires an available agent seat, and the admin account who installed the integration must remain active. If you decide to stop using the dedicated integration user, you can disconnect it from the Jira side, which will downgrade and suspend the user in Zendesk Support.
