Hey @vidishaagarwal5 ,
Correct answer is "In Either the knowledge Base or Article"
User Criteria in ServiceNow HRSD can be set at either the Knowledge Base level or the Individual Knowledge Article level to control read and edit permissions.
This allows flexible control over who can access entire Knowledge Bases or specific Articles.
Thanks,
Bhimashankar H

Hi @vidishaagarwal5 ,
Corect answer is:- o In either the Knowledge Base or Article.
Explanation:
- Knowledge Base Level:
This sets access controls for the entire knowledge base, meaning any article within that knowledge base will be subject to the same user criteria.
- Article Level:
This allows for more granular control, where individual articles can have specific user criteria that override the general Knowledge Base settings.
If my answer helped you, please mark it-solution accepted.

@vidishaagarwal5 o In either the Knowledge Base or Article.
User criteria can be set at Knowledge Base or Article level. If the user doesn't have the access at the either of the levels then they won't be able to access the kb article.

Based on ServiceNow's documentation and community best practices, user criteria for controlling who can read and edit knowledge articles can be set at both the Knowledge Base level and the individual Knowledge Article level.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
- In either the Knowledge Base or Article.
