5Configure Access to Authoring

A user may need access to authoring in one of these circumstances:

• You are using a custom content source. You may want to give some users access to Authoring so they can perform manual actions on your content.
• You are using a SharePoint or Web Crawler connector. Administrators can do some troubleshooting related to the SharePoint and Web Crawler connectors in Authoring. Also, for these connectors, access to Authoring gives a user the ability to alter the security of content as exposed via these connectors.

You need to provide access to these users by adding the following data security policies to their user role:

• Data security policies for the department in which the content types were created
• Data security polices for the content types related to connectors

These data security policies are sufficient if the user is already an AI Agent Studio user. If not, then the user will also need the Knowledge Authoring duty role. For more information, refer Create a Role for Custom Knowledge Authors.
