    Article Summary

    Feature availablility

    The Reader feature on Document360 would be applicable only when the knowledge base site access is set to Private or Mixed.

    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.

    Reader account attributes

    Here are some more attributes of a reader in Document360

    • Content access scope can be set for individual readers, which restricts them from viewing any documentation (version, language, category, or article) outside of their assigned scope
    • A Reader is only necessary when a knowledge base site access is set as Private or Mixed
    • A reader does not have access to the knowledge base portal
    • A reader in Document360 can either be a Regular reader account or a SSO (Single Sign-On) reader account
    • A reader can be associated with one or more reader groups
