How can I set agent editing and publishing permissions for knowledge base articles in Zendesk?

To set agent editing and publishing permissions for knowledge base articles in Zendesk, you need to apply management permissions at the article level. Management permissions define which agents can edit or publish an article.

You can choose from several options depending on your plan: 'Admins' allows only Guide admins to edit and publish, 'Editors and publishers' (available on Enterprise plans) lets all agents edit but only admins publish, and 'Custom management permission' lets you define specific user segments. To apply or change permissions, navigate to the article, click 'Edit article', and select the desired management permissions from the 'Management' panel.Learn more.
