expected/intended behavior for category picker 1. User has only read access at knowledge base level with contribute access at article level -> User cannot edit categories but they should be able to open category picker in read-only mode 2. User has no access at knowledge base level but has contribute access at article level. -> Category picker should not open as no access to knowledge base is defined.

Check that user do not have any access at knowledge base level Check that user has contribute access at knowledge article level due to member of ownership group.

Now impersonate the user , go to the article Click on the category picker on knowledge form Category picker opens without editing enabled

Give user only read access to the knowledge base and then open then impersonate the user , go to the article Click on the category picker on knowledge form Category picker does not open.
