Article summary

The Permissions accordion of the Add/Edit Knowledge Base workscreen enables you to grant or deny knowledge base access to groups, learning plans, subscriptions, teams, or users

Permissions

The Groups, Learning Plans, Subscriptions, Teams, Users, and All buttons above the grid control what's displayed in the grid. For example, if the Learning Plans button is selected, the grid displays learning plans.
