This article describes how to allow secure chat attachments in the Zendesk Agent Workspace.
You can configure Support settings to require authentication to access attachments
in a ticket. If you allow secure attachments, attachments are accessible while a chat is
ongoing, but once the chat ends, agents and end users who have access to a ticket must sign in
before they can view or download ticket attachments. For more information, see Allowing private attachments.

Note: This setting also applies to attachments sent by agents to social or web messaging
tickets. For more information, see About private attachments in messaging.
To secure attachments

In Admin Center, click
Objects and rules in the sidebar, then select Tickets > Settings.
Click Downloads and attachments to expand it.
Under the Settings tab, select Enable secure downloads in messaging.

Click Save.
