Readers overview page

Readers are different from team accounts in that they are not contributors to a knowledge base. They can only view the content of a knowledge base site.

What is a reader account?

A Reader is an end-user who must first log in with their credentials to view the version(s), language(s), categories, and articles in a knowledge base site.

Accessing the Readers overview page

From the knowledge base portal, click on Settings → Users & Security → Readers & groups and the Readers tab would be the default selection.

Readers overview page elements

1. Total readers

On the left users can observe the Total number of readers in the project and the number of readers who have logged in or have never logged in.

2. Managing readers

The New reader, Import reader(s), and Export CSV buttons can be found on the right. The actions that these buttons perform are self-explanatory. However, you can find detailed information about these functions in the managing readers article.

3. Readers list

This section provides an overview and the list of all available reader accounts in the knowledge base project.
