Metadata for Zendesk's New Admin Roles
What additional metadata values are available for the new roles in Zendesk?
The new administrator and billing administrator roles in Zendesk come with two additional metadata values: 'roletype' and 'customrole_id'. These values are included in the /api/v2/users entity, providing more detailed information about users assigned to these roles. Previously, these attributes were null, but now they enhance the data available for these roles without changing the existing /api/v2/users schema.
