New Role-Based Permissions for Sunshine Custom Objects

Learn about Zendesk's new role-based permissions for Sunshine custom objects, offering enhanced control over data access for agents and end users.

What are the new role-based permissions for Sunshine custom objects?

Zendesk has introduced new role-based permissions for Sunshine custom objects, allowing more granular control over access. Previously, agents had unrestricted access to all records, and end users had limited read access based on a flag. Now, admins can set specific create, read, update, and delete permissions for both agents and end users on a per-object or relationship basis. This change enhances security and flexibility in managing data access.

For more details, you can refer to theoriginal Zendesk article.
