Easy way to hide end-user credentials in a community post



Posted Feb 20, 2024

Hiding my end-users credentials such as the username should be a basic feature. Currently, if I want to enable commenting on posts, the username of the end-user is publicly visible.

The Zendesk admin should be able to easily hide the username in Zendesk Guide without necessarily paying extra to edit the source code of a page template.

I understand that this seems to be an "easy" workaround, but I understand this as a basic feature due to GDPR regulations.

Hi Florian Grossmayer,

We have aliases available for customers of our customers to conceal their names. See Adding or editing your help center alias. I would also recommend to check the article about user profiles. See Enabling and disabling profiles in your help center.

Hi 이지훈(maclaude),

We offer aliases for both admins/agents and end users. You can configure them in different places. These two articles describe the configuration of aliases for the end users Adding or editing your help center alias and Enabling and disabling profiles in your help center.

Hi, this does not help me at all unfortunately. I do not want to hide an agent's name but an enduser.
Using the aliases does not do the job. I already a customer base and will not add aliases for all my users manually. I will also not ask all my enduser's to set that up manually.

Disabling profiles are also not related to my request as I do want to allow my endusers to post into the community section.

What I need is a out-of-the-box solution to hide my enduser's name in a community post. They should have all functionalities - the only difference is that their names are not publicly visible to the rest.

It seems that this is only possible by editing the source code of my helpcenter's live theme. This would have been ok for me if this would at least be free of charge. To my surprise I need another developer package, which I have to purchase for another 149$.

Data protection has become more and more important, especially in the recent years. I would have expected this feature to be part of the standard package as realizing it is first of all very easy and quick, also I see a big benefit in particular in big companies.
