On the cloud platform,

  1. Account owner granted admin access to another user
  2. The user login to the Dify cloud
  3. Go to the knowlege bases page https://cloud.dify.ai/datasets
  4. Can't find any knowledge bases there, but if login using the owner email, i can see there are many knowledge bases.

Hey @blacktail, I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions! Let's squash those bugs together and make Dify even better 🐞

I found a similar unsolved discussion regarding visibility issues with knowledge bases in Dify. In that discussion, an admin and owner couldn't see a knowledge base created by a colleague who had left the company [1].

In Dify, access to knowledge bases is controlled by visibility permissions, which can be set to "Only Me," "All team members," or "Partial team members." Even as an admin, you might not have access if the knowledge base is set to "Only Me" or if you are not included in the "Partial team members" list [2].

Additionally, the 'admin' role in Dify allows for the creation of knowledge bases, but there is no specific mention of permissions to view or manage knowledge bases created by others unless explicitly granted [3].

It might be worth checking the visibility settings of the knowledge bases or confirming with the account owner that the permissions have been correctly set to allow admin access.

To continue talking to Dosu, mention @dosu.
