It seems that a user token (tied to my global admin account) with read permissions can’t see the same list of topics that show up when I check my assignments

 ![Selection_293](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/0/0/9/009adb3c1f950d2863cc215265a0ae3f4f37f4e7.png)

Note that they’re assigned to a group I’m in, not directly to me.

When I look at assigning granular permissions, I’m not seeing anything in the list that looks relevant.

I’m trying to automate some stuff with AI, so I’m not comfortable assigning all my rights. What’s the best way to go about this?
