Use Cases for Bots with Restricted Articles

Discover how bots can handle restricted help center articles based on user authentication and permissions.

What are the use cases for bots handling restricted help center articles?

Bots can handle restricted help center articles in several ways, depending on user authentication. They can share public articles with anonymous users, restricted articles with authenticated users, or both, depending on the user's authentication status.

For authenticated users, bots can show restricted articles if the user has the necessary permissions. For anonymous users, only public articles are shown. This setup allows for a tailored experience based on user access levels.
