Admins and agents in custom roles with permissions can create, edit, and manage any custom user fields. Custom user fields are visible to all agents, but only agents with access to all tickets can edit custom user fields for themselves (not other agents) and end users. End users cannot see or edit custom user fields.
Editing custom user fields
Everything about a custom field is editable except the field type and key, which can't be changed after the custom field is created.
To edit a custom user field
- In Admin Center, click
People in the sidebar, then select Configuration > User fields.
- Hover over the row of the field you want to edit, then click the option menu
icon (
) and select Edit.
- Edit settings as needed and click Save.
Deactivating and reactivating custom user fields
The User fields page has two tabs: Active and Inactive. New custom user fields are active by default. Activating an inactive custom user fields adds it to the user profile view.
- In Admin Center, click
People in the sidebar, then select Configuration > User fields.

icon (
), and select Deactivate.
Deactivating a custom user field removes it from the user profile view, but the field can be reactivated at any time.

field.
The custom user field moves to the Inactive tab.
To reactivate a custom user field

icon (

The custom user field moves to the Active tab.
Deleting custom user fields
You can delete custom user fields on the edit page. Deleting a custom user field is permanent. The field and data stored in that field can't be recovered.
- In Admin Center, click
People in the sidebar, then select Configuration > User fields.
- Hover over the row of the field you want to edit, then click the option menu
icon (
) and select Edit.
- Click the option menu icon (
) at the top of the page, then select Delete.
When you delete a custom user field, that field and any associated data is removed from all users. The data is preserved only if the custom field also adds a tag to a user. The two custom fields that add tags are the drop-down list and the checkbox. If you delete one of these custom fields, then the data in users persist as tags.
- Click Delete to confirm that you want to delete the custom user field.
