How to Change Requester on Zendesk Ticket
How can I change the requester on a Zendesk ticket?
To change the requester on a Zendesk ticket, you need to access the ticket properties panel. Simply click into the Requester field and start typing the name, email domain, or organization name of the new requester. Select the correct user from the results, or add a new user if they don't exist yet. Once you've made your selection, click Submit to save the changes.
Keep in mind that you cannot change the requester on tickets that are shared or closed. Additionally, your Zendesk Support settings must allow CCs on tickets to make this change. For more details, check out theoriginal Zendesk article.
