Access denied page

Access denied page

Access denied page appears when a reader with some access permissions in your knowledge base tries to access a Knowledge base site URL to which the reader doesn't have access.

For example, if a reader has access to only a few categories in a mixed knowledge base and tries to access a URL for which the reader doesn't have access permission, the access denied page appears.

Customize the 'Access denied' page of your knowledge base site and provide a descriptive reason with a solution such as 'Contact your admin for access.' This page would allow the readers to understand the cause and solution.
