Restricted Agents and End User Permissions in Zendesk

Learn why restricted agents in Zendesk can't edit or create end users and how to manage these permissions.

Why can't my restricted agent edit or create end users in Zendesk?

Restricted agents in Zendesk are unable to edit or create end users due to their limited access permissions. These agents are confined to viewing and editing tickets only within their specific organizations and groups.

This limitation is part of the restrictions set at the role level for Enterprise accounts or on individual agent profiles for other plans. For more information on managing these settings, refer to the article: Restricting agents to an organization.
