Unauthorized page
An 'Unauthorized page' appears when a user with no access permission in your Knowledge base tries to access a Knowledge base site URL.
For example, if a user doesn't have access to a private knowledge base and tries to access it, the unauthorized page appears.
Customize your Knowledge base site's 'Unauthorized page' and provide a descriptive reason with a solution such as 'Contact the admin for access'. This allows the users to understand the cause and solution.
You cannot switch back to your default 'Unauthorized page' after configuring a custom 'Unauthorized page'. It is recommended to have a custom page to enhance the user experience.

- Go to Settings → Knowledge base site → Custom pages → Unauthorized
