However, users such as Business Stakeholders or general end users without these roles only see the Self‑Service Knowledge Home or My Knowledge. When they try to create a new article, they are taken to the classic knowledge creation form, but the article body field does not appear, so they cannot enter any content.
What is the recommended way for these types of users to create knowledge articles?

Role required: knowledge, knowledge_manager, knowledge_admin, knowledge_coach, knowledge_domain_expert, knowledge_group_member, admin. You must have contribute access to at least one active knowledge base.
About this task
Users with at least one role can create and edit knowledge articles. These users are known as knowledge contributors. Users without any role can read articles and submit feedback, but can’t create or edit articles.
Some knowledge bases may allow only certain users to contribute. For example, a member of the IT department can create knowledge articles in the IT knowledge base, such as desktop support information or articles describing company IT processes.
The requirement is users should have contribute role.

Hi Ashish Nahar,
Thank you for your response.
Even for users who have the ITIL role (which includes the knowledge role), the text editor does not appear on the classic knowledge form.
For Admin users, the text editor is displayed correctly, as shown below.
I would like to understand why the text editor does not appear for non‑Admin users, including those with the ITIL role.
