Tips for Editing Custom Role Names in Zendesk

Ensure custom role names in Zendesk are unique and not similar to system roles to avoid editing restrictions.

What should I keep in mind when editing a custom role's name in Zendesk?

When editing a custom role's name in Zendesk, ensure that the name is unique and not too similar to existing roles. If the name is too similar to a system role like 'Admins' or 'Team Leads', you won't be able to change the description unless the role's name is also changed.

This is important to maintain clarity and avoid confusion within your team. Always save your changes after editing to ensure they are applied.
