Hi All,
I am getting the error message ''You do not have sufficient Privileges to access this knowledge item' while searching for KB article in native view as Global search. Below are the things I have already checked.
1. The knowledge base is IT users and it is not added to service portal. I addewd it and checked still the same error.
2. IT users knowledge base has Read and can contribute as 'itil' role.
3. User has 'itil', 'knowledge' and 'knowledge_admin' role.
4. I as a admin can access the article.
Can you help with this.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Did you check the "can read" criteria or "roles" on the knowledge articles level.
Knowledge articles also have can read criteria.
Please mark the answer correct/helpful accordingly.

Hi @sbeginner
Verify the user criteria access using "Run User Criteria Diagnostics" related link on the knowledge base
1)you can check knowledge base and article level access if this looks good
2)check ACLs...
I assume the article is not retired..
Thank you,
Hemanth

Hi @Hemanth M1 ,
Thankyou so much for your response. User criteria allows user to access the record at both record and base level. Will check ACLs.

@sbeginner It seems like the knowledge base is not added to the portal.
Go to "Service Portal > Portals"
Open you portal record
Scroll down to related lists
In "Search sources" related list click on edit and add "Knowledge bases" search source
In "Knowledge bases" related list add you knowledge base like as shown below
Please mark as correct answer if this solves your issue.
