Managing Messaging Access for Multiple Agents in Zendesk

Zendesk only allows managing messaging access for one user at a time. Learn more here.

Can I manage messaging access for multiple agents at once in Zendesk?

Currently, Zendesk only allows you to manage messaging access for one user at a time.

This means you'll need to individually assign the Chat Agent role to each team member who needs access to messaging. While this might take a bit more time, it ensures that each agent's access is set up correctly and securely.
