How Should End Users Create Knowledge Articles in the Zurich release?

    In the Zurich release, users with the Admin or ITIL roles can select Knowledge → Create New and are directed to the Knowledge Center, where they can create new articles using the new experience.

 

    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.
