Hi Everyone,
Can you please assist? I have an issue with the user who can't view knowledge articles in a particular knowledge base. I don't think this could be roles issues, hence the user can read/view in some other knowledge base. Please help me figure out on why this user can't view articles in this KB, I have ran User Criteria Diagnostics against it and attached the the results below with the configurations of this KB.

Hi @Kamva
1. Validate the Cannot Read related list on the Knowledge Base record. Even if user diagnostics passed on the article, a Cannot Read at the KB level will block them.
2. Validate the Can Read & Cannot Read user criteria applied at the Knowledge Block level . Refer: Issue with kb articles
3. Check the system Property:
glide.knowman.block_access_with_no_user_criteria
4. Validate that the articles are actually in the "Published" state. Draft or Retired articles are not visible to end-users
5. Article's current date is before the Valid to date.
6.Verify that no custom Access Control Lists (ACLs) are restricting access to the specific knowledge base article
