Open Zendesk Instance
Requires users to register, anybody can submit tickets as long as they register first. After submitting a
first ticket, the ticket is suspended and a welcome email is sent to the new user requiring them to
register before the ticket can be submitted. After the user verifies their email address and creates a
password, the ticket is unsuspended.
Closed Zendesk Instance
Permits designated users to create or update tickets. An administrator designates who can submit
tickets. If an unknown person tries to submit a ticket, the email is suspended.
Restricted Zendesk Instance
Permits only users with email addresses in certain domains can register and submit tickets. Emails in
other domains are either suspended or completely rejected, depending on your setup.
Scenario: if you have allow-listed an end-user's email and they are still suspended, what can you do?
Check the end user's profile to see if they have been flagged as a suspended user.
Merging users
Bulk merge users using API call or using the interface. Merges cannot be undone.
