How does the Assignment Control app work in Zendesk?

The Assignment Control app operates by hiding specific users or groups from the assignee drop-down menu in Zendesk. This allows administrators to control which agents or groups are visible for ticket assignment, making the process more manageable.

To use the app, you need to configure it by entering the IDs of users or groups you wish to hide in the hiddenuserids and hiddengroupids fields. You can also specify targeted groups, organizations, tags, and users to apply these restrictions. It's important to note that the app only functions in the ticket editor and does not affect ticket views.
