Set organization level access to Knowledge Base and manage duplicate article permalinks (with date appended to them)
Hello everyone,
We have introduced two important updates in the Knowledge Base module:
- Permissions - A new permission called "Admin access" has been introduced under module permission.
- Permalink alert - Users will be alerted when an article with the same URL exists.
Organization-level permission for the Knowledge Base
A new option under module permissions called "Admin Access" has been introduced. This permission provides users complete access to every department in KB.
In most organizations, the support leads, content managers, and department heads require access to all departments. This allows them to add, edit, or modify articles under the relevant departments as and when needed.
For example, a compliance guideline introduced for the organization must be included in the articles across departments to ensure all employees are aware of it irrespective of the department they belong to. Likewise, a change in the pricing plan for a product suite must be updated in all the products that belong to the suite for customers to get accurate information.
In these cases, it is essential for the writers to have the permission to access the KB modules for all the relevant departments.
The Admin access gives specific users the permission to access the KB for all the departments.
On the other hand, the Manage KB permission gives users access to selected departments.
That said, using Admin and Manage KB permissions, businesses can set organization wide and department wide permissions for the Desk users.
Comparison between Admin access and Manage KB permissions
Admin Access | Manage KB | |
Access type | Org level | Department level |
Actions (View, Create, Update, Delete) | Perform all actions across all the departments |
|
Organize Categories (Create, Edit, Delete, Enable/Disable, and Ordering categories) | Perform all actions across all the departments |
|
Sort articles | Perform all actions across all the departments |
|
Recycle Bin | View, restore, and delete articles across all departments | View articles for the accessible categories |
Access Settings | Enable or disable KB access settings | View only |
For more information on the permissions required, refer to Setting Up Knowledge Base Permissions.
Alert for duplicate article titles
When multiple agents collaborate as a team to ensure that the content is easily available to the customer, it is highly possible that one or more of them may use the same naming convention for their article. This will generate similar permalinks or article URLs.
The system identifies two similar links by appending the date to the recent article:
eg., getting-started-with-zoho-desk-25-12-2024
To help agents identify such permalinks and allow them to edit them before publishing the article, we are now showing an alert message that another article with a similar URL exists.
This ensures that none of the articles are duplicated. Also, the users are navigated to the right content.
To remove the date appended to the article title, verify the folders and delete or rename the old article.
For more information on how article permalink works, refer to Setting 301 Redirection of Knowledge Base Articles.
These enhancements are available for all users across DC.

Currently, updating extensions requires manually searching for updates and clicking the update button. This processHow to view all departments on one dashboard or ticket view?
Hi guys, We've just started using Zoho Support and found a very weird quirk. It seems that you need to click into each deparment to view the new tickets instead of just seeing a global dashboard of all tickets across all departments. Seems very odd, is this correct or are we missing something? If this is currently not possible, can someone from Zoho let us know if a global dashboard view is going to be developed soon? How soon? This is going to be a dealbreaker for us as we have lots of departments...Is Drawing feature supported in zoho Sheets?

It seems like it is not possible to display/hide the knowledge base from the help center per department. Is there a way to do this? It looks like all department knowledge bases are displayed if they are public, and there is no way to hide one from the help center while keeping it accessible via a permalink URL. For example, lets say I have one KB for Clients and one for Employees. I want to keep my Clients KB public, and also want the Employees KB to be public, but NOT displayed in the help center.Template Email Reset Password
