Understanding Open Zendesk Support Instances
What does it mean to have an open Zendesk Support instance?
An open Zendesk Support instance allows any user to submit support requests and access your help center without needing to register. This setup is ideal if you want to provide easy access to support without requiring users to verify their email addresses.
In an open instance, users can still choose to register and create a login if they wish to access content restricted to signed-in users. However, registration is not mandatory unless you modify your help center to hide the Sign Up and Login pages. This flexibility allows you to cater to both registered and unregistered users.
