Resolving Conflicting Ticket Permissions in Zendesk

Discover how Zendesk resolves conflicting ticket permissions between organization and user levels, ensuring maximum access is granted.

How do conflicting ticket permissions get resolved in Zendesk?

In Zendesk, when there are conflicting ticket permissions between organization and user levels, the more permissive setting will override the less permissive one. This means that if an organization allows viewing of all tickets but a user is restricted to their own, the user will still have access to all organization tickets.

This approach ensures that users have the maximum level of access allowed by any of the settings applied to them. It's important to carefully configure these settings to ensure the right level of access is granted to users.
