Reason for Zendesk's New Agent Ticket Permissions
Why did Zendesk introduce these new permissions for agent-requested tickets?
Zendesk introduced these new permissions to enhance security and privacy in ticket handling. By restricting access to private comments and agent-only fields, internal departments can collaborate more securely without notifying the requester of all details.
This change reduces the need for managing additional tickets while providing admins with more control over agent experiences and ticket workflows. It ensures that sensitive information remains within the appropriate departments.
