Manage End User Access in Zendesk Help Center

Learn how to manage end user access to the Help Center and Web Widget in Zendesk. Customize settings and control visibility.

How can I manage end user access to the Help Center and Web Widget?

To manage end user access to the Help Center and Web Widget, you can adjust settings in Zendesk Guide and Support. For example, you can hide the 'Submit a Request' link by default and show it only to users with a specific tag.

This involves configuring user segments and customizing the Guide code to check for user tags. By doing so, you can control who can submit tickets and who can only view Help Center content. This setup requires some coding changes in Zendesk Guide.
