Steps to Enable Agent Post Management in Zendesk

Learn the steps to enable agents to manage posts in Zendesk community topics, including editing and deleting capabilities.

What steps are involved in enabling agents to manage posts in Zendesk?

Enabling agents to manage posts in Zendesk involves a few simple steps. First, a Guide manager must open the community topic where they want to grant permissions. Then, they should click 'Edit topic' in the top menu bar. In the sidebar, under 'Who can manage posts', they need to select 'Agents and managers'. Finally, clicking 'Update' will save these changes, allowing agents to edit or delete posts in that topic.

This process must be repeated for each topic where agent management is desired.
