Restricting Help Center Content to Signed-In Users

Learn how to restrict your Zendesk Help Center content so that only signed-in users can access it.

How can I restrict Help Center content to signed-in users only?

To restrict Help Center content to signed-in users, you can require users to sign in to access the Help Center. This ensures that only users you have added to your Zendesk can view your content.

Visitors will only see the sign-in page, and without an account, they cannot access any content. This setup is ideal for maintaining privacy and control over your Help Center resources.
