Use this interactive demo to learn how to suspend and block a customer in Zendesk.

Quick summary

Blocking a user in Zendesk prevents them from submitting tickets or sending emails to your support channel. Agents can suspend access directly from the Customers panel in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Navigate to the left-side panel and click Customers.
  2. Browse the customer list on the main dashboard and select the user you want to block.
  3. Tap the drop-down arrow next to the New Ticket button.
  4. Choose Suspend Access from the dropdown menu.
  5. The selected customer is now blocked and suspended from sending tickets and emails to your channel.

📌 Why this matters

Blocking or suspending a disruptive user in Zendesk is a critical moderation tool for support teams that need to protect their helpdesk from spam, abuse, or bad-faith contacts. The Suspend Access feature lets agents instantly cut off a specific customer's ability to submit tickets or send emails, without requiring admin intervention. For insurance and service-based businesses managing high ticket volumes, this capability helps maintain queue integrity and agent productivity. Knowing exactly where to find and action this control reduces response time and keeps support workflows running smoothly.
