Permissions Required for Accessing Knowledge Section

Find out what permissions agents need to access the Knowledge section in Zendesk and avoid access issues.

What permissions are needed for agents to access the Knowledge section?

For agents to access the Knowledge section in Zendesk, they need to have 'Agent' permissions for 'Guide'. If agents only have 'Viewer' permissions, they may experience inconsistent access, with some agents able to access the Knowledge section and others not.

Ensuring that all agents have the appropriate 'Agent' permissions for 'Guide' will help prevent access issues and allow them to fully utilize the Knowledge section's features.
