Prevent Auto-Downgrade of Zendesk Agents

Learn how to prevent your Zendesk agents from being auto-downgraded by selecting specific agents during license reduction.

How can I prevent my Zendesk agents from being auto-downgraded?

To prevent your Zendesk agents from being auto-downgraded, you need to manually select which agents should be downgraded when reducing agent licenses. If the account owner decreases the number of agent licenses without specifying which agents to downgrade, Zendesk will automatically downgrade the last agent alphabetically.

To avoid this, ensure that you choose the specific agents to be downgraded when making changes to your subscription. This proactive step will help maintain the correct user roles and prevent unexpected downgrades.
