Configuring end user access and sign-in

    I've been trying to set & reset a zendesk password for almost 6 weeks and need HELP! I freelance with a company that recently switched to zendesk. They assigned me a new email address (myname@theircompany.com) I'm supposed to be able to communicate with their clients and they with me on their website (via zendesk, I assume.) FYI, I first log in to their website with my username & password where I see what work is due, set my schedule, etc.

    When not on their site I'm notified about new jobs via email. Work orders and communication are supposed to be forwarded to my gmail account. (THAT’s the address I used to register here to post.) The orders come to my gmail account just fine, but any communication (to be done ONLY from their website) from me to the clients or them to me is not being forwarded to my gmail address.

    When I try to reset my password, I‘ve been told to put in myname@theircompany.com as the email address, and a reset link is supposed to be sent there. But since I have no access to that email account, (as it’s only on their site as a forwarding address) I don’t get those reset links. The company sends reset links as well, but my point to them is… since I have NO ACCESS and forwarding doesn’t seem to be working, I am not getting them!

    They have my correct gmail address. I get things from them all the time. Nothing from zendesk is being blocked or moved to my spam folder. AND communication I receive from them THROUGH zendesk i.e. “support@theircompany.zendesk.com” comes through without a problem. The company says, “It’s simple!” It’s not. I’m no troglodyte, and actually computer savvy, but I’ll be damned if I can figure this out. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Hey Charlie 👋 It seems like you need to get in touch with this company that you freelance for and either ask them to set a new password for your account and share that with you, or update your profile with the email address whose inbox you do actually have access to. Are you able to get in touch with them at all?

    In an 'Open' instance of Support where Zendesk registration is not required to submit a ticket, can an organisation automatically create (or merge) an end user at the point where the customer registers with the organisations in their mobile app AND also automatically register the end user in Zendesk? If so, would a welcome email be sent to the end user to complete the registration/verification process? If all is possible, please explain how to set that up correctly.

    Thanks!

    I'm wondering if there is any way to not have CCed email addresses automatically added as end users?  We want the requestor added, but not everyone who they CC.

    I am trying to set up a second Help Center under a different brand for our employees. Is it possible to have two Help Centers; one that is Open for our customers and another that is Closed for our employees?

    Hi Gigi,
     
    Yes, it's possible to have multiple Help Centers with different sign in options. The number of Help Centers you can create will depend on your plan. For more information, please refer to Creating a help center for one of your Support brands.

    Hello,

    Can I enable both Zendesk authentication (username/password) and SSO through (JWT)?

    Hello Jia,

    I hope all is well! Yes, that is possible! You can find a detailed description in the article: Enabling JWT single sign-on


    I hope this helps!

    Hi,

    topic: Sign-in for end user with SSO

    The users are led to the zendesk support page through our platform but are not logged-in.

    The users still have to press the Sign-in button to be able to log in. After pressing the sign-in button, the login is automatic but we want the user to be already signed-in as soon as they arrive on zendesk. Is that possible ?
