Default Post Editing Permissions in Zendesk
Who can edit and delete posts in Zendesk community by default?
By default, only Guide managers and users with moderator rights can edit and delete posts in the Zendesk community. This means that while all signed-in users can add posts, only those with specific roles have the ability to modify or remove them.
If you want to extend these permissions to agents, a Guide manager must manually adjust the settings for each community topic.
