Question

Recent experience shows basic need to prevent ticket deletion on all product levels for security reasons. Please can you introduce

We recently had an employee who experienced a mental health issue. Long story short he deleted a bunch of customer communications. We have been unable to reinstall them and been left with upset customers and multiple bad business reviews online.

I’ve been told the only way to prevent agents having the ability to delete items permenantly is to upgrade to the Pro plan and use the custom roles feature. This does not feel right that this product is not secure at all levels against things like this happening. I like Freshdesk but this shows a serious flaw in your product. Please can someone from the product team advise if this can be addressed?

Thanks for the quick reply. Please can you advise how I can use any of these features to prevent a user being able to delete tickets. I’d really appreciate the help as Freshdesk have said i am only able to do this by upgrading to the Pro plan.

Safeguarding critical business data is as essential as protecting patient records in healthcare. Just as Carelogic login ensures secure access to sensitive medical information, a support platform should have built-in protections to prevent accidental or malicious data loss. Relying on an upgrade for basic security feels like a vulnerability, much like a hospital lacking essential safeguards against unauthorized record deletions. Strengthening role-based permissions at all levels would enhance trust and prevent operational disruptions.
