Summary

Changed required user roles from 'Author' to 'Admin/Admin Pro' for creating knowledge bases

Security assessment

The change restricts knowledge base creation to higher-privileged roles (Admin/Admin Pro), addressing potential overprivilege by limiting sensitive operations to authorized personnel. This directly impacts access control security.
