Effect of Changing Account Default Group on Existing Members

Changing the account's default group in Zendesk doesn't affect existing team members. Learn more about its impact.

What happens to existing team members when I change the account's default group in Zendesk?

When you change the account's default group in Zendesk, it does not affect existing team members. Their default groups remain the same as before the change. The new default group only applies to team members who are added after the change.

This means that if you want to update the default group for existing team members, you will need to do so individually through each team member's profile.
