Zendesk Support has three types of users: end users (your customers), agents, and administrators.

End users

End users request support through tickets. End users have access to Help Center where they can view knowledge base articles and community content, access their ticket history, and submit new tickets.

Agents

Agents work in Zendesk Support to solve tickets. Agents can be divided into multiple groups and can also belong to multiple groups. Agents don't have access to administrative configuration in Zendesk Support such as business rules or automations, but can configure their own macros and views.

Administrators

Administrators have all the abilities of agents, plus administrative abilities. Accounts on the Enterprise plan and above can configure custom roles to give agents varying degrees of administrative access.

Email Address

You can specify a user's primary email address when you create the user. See Specifying email and verified attributes.

To update a user's primary email address, use the Make Identity Primary endpoint.

Time Zone

A time_zone name consists of a string such as "Eastern Time (US & Canada)". For a list of valid names, click https://support.zendesk.com/api/v2/time_zones. For details, see Time Zones.

Request body in User API:

{ "user": {   "id":   35436,   "name": "Johnny Agent",   "time_zone": "Berlin",   ... }}

User Fields

You can use the user_fields object to set the value of one or more custom fields in the user's profile. Specify field keys as the properties to set. Example:

"user_fields": {   "membership_level": "silver",   "membership_expires": "2019-07-23T00:00:00Z" }

For more information, see User Fields and Adding custom fields to users.

Phone Number

The phone number should comply with the E.164 international telephone numbering plan. Example +15551234567. E164 numbers are international numbers with a country dial prefix, usually an area code and a subscriber number. A valid E.164 phone number must include a country calling code.

A phone number can be one of the following types:

  • A direct line linked to a single user, which is indicated by a shared_phone_number attribute of false. A direct line can be used as a user identity
  • A shared number linked to multiple users, indicated by a shared_phone_number attribute of true. A shared number can not be used as a user identity

See Understanding how phone numbers are linked to end-user profiles in the Support Help Center.

Organization ID

The organization_id property returns the id of the user's organization. If the user has more than one organization memberships, the id of the user's default organization is returned.

The field is writable. However, if you make a request to update the organization_id property, the organization_id of the request updates the default organization for that user and removes all other organizations currently associated with that user. Zendesk recommends using the Organization Memberships API to add or delete organizations for a user.

JSON Format for End Users

When an end user makes the request, the user is returned with the following attributes:

NameTypeRead-onlyMandatoryComment
idintegeryesnoAutomatically assigned when creating users
emailstringnonoThe primary email address of this user. If the primary email address is not verified, the secondary email address is used
namestringnoyesThe name of the user
created_atdateyesnoThe time the user was created
localestringyesnoThe locale for this user
locale_idintegernonoThe language identifier for this user
organization_idintegernonoThe id of the user's organization. If the user has more than one organization memberships, the id of the user's default organization. If updating, see Organization ID
phonestringnonoThe primary phone number of this user. See Phone Number in the Users API
shared_phone_numberbooleanyesnoWhether the phone number is shared or not. See Phone Number in the Users API
photoAttachmentnonoThe user's profile picture represented as an Attachment object
rolestringnonoThe role of the user. Possible values: "end-user", "agent", "admin"
time_zonestringnonoThe time-zone of this user
updated_atdateyesnoThe time of the last update of the user
urlstringyesnoThe API url of this user
verifiedbooleannonoAny of the user's identities is verified. See User Identities

Responses will vary depending on the role of the client making the request. The following example is a response for an end-user role.

Example

{  "id":                    35436,  "url":                   "https://company.zendesk.com/api/v2/end_users/35436.json",  "name":                  "Johnny End User",  "created_at":            "2009-07-20T22:55:29Z",  "updated_at":            "2011-05-05T10:38:52Z",  "time_zone":             "Copenhagen",  "email":                 "[email protected]",  "phone":                 "+15551234567",  "locale":                "en-US",  "locale_id":             1,  "organization_id":       57542,  "role":                  "end-user",  "verified":              true,  "photo": {    "id":           928374,    "name":         "my_funny_profile_pic.png",    "content_url":  "https://company.zendesk.com/photos/my_funny_profile_pic.png",    "content_type": "image/png",    "size":         166144,    "thumbnails": [      {      "id":           928375,      "name":         "my_funny_profile_pic_thumb.png",      "content_url":  "https://company.zendesk.com/photos/my_funny_profile_pic_thumb.png",      "content_type": "image/png",      "size":         58298      }    ]  }}

This example is a response for an admin or agent request.

Count Users

  • GET /api/v2/users/count
  • GET /api/v2/groups/{group_id}/users/count
  • GET /api/v2/organizations/{organization_id}/users/count

Returns an approximate count of users. If the count exceeds 100,000, it is updated every 24 hours.

The response includes a refreshed_at property in a count object that contains a timestamp indicating when the count was last updated.

Note: When the count exceeds 100,000, the refreshed_at property may occasionally be null. This indicates that the count is being updated in the background. The count object's value property is limited to 100,000 until the update is complete.
