Assign Tickets Manually

By default, a new ticket received in the Zoho Desk will stay unassigned, unless there is assignment or round-robin rule is defined. The support manager or the administrator has the privilege to assign those unassigned tickets to the respective agent or team. 

In addition, Zoho Desk allows the agents with view unassigned tickets permission to pick the unassigned tickets by themselves.  Please note that only the administrator has the privilege to define the profile permissions for an agent or support administrator. 

To enable/disable the view unassigned ticket permission

1. Go to Setup > User Management > Profiles.
2. Select the desired profile.
   
3. Under Ticket Permissions, enable/disable the View Unassigned option.
