How can agents assign tickets to their groups in Zendesk?

Agents can assign tickets to any of the groups they belong to if they have the appropriate permissions. To enable this, admins need to set the agent's profile to allow access to tickets in the agent's groups.

For Team and Professional plans, this involves setting the agent's access to 'Tickets in agent's groups'. On the Enterprise plan, you need to select 'Agent can assign ticket to any group' in the custom role for the agent. This setup allows agents to manage tickets within their designated groups effectively.Learn more
