How to avoid this scenario in the future?
When you want to assign access permissions with a reader group, update content access as None for individual readers in the readers list and associate them with the desired reader groups. If you provide content access as Complete knowledge base(Project) to an individual reader, the reader will have access to the whole project irrespective of the associated reader group.
How to resolve the error - 'Too Many Redirection'?
The below scenario is one of the reasons for this error.
The private version of a mixed site access project would be unmarked as public. Go to the Version settings in the Knowledge base portal and check whether the version is marked public.
1. Go to Settings → Knowledge base portal → Localization & Versions, and you can find the list of versions available in your project
2. Click the Edit (pencil) icon of your desired version
3. Under the Choose version status section, make sure that the public checkbox is marked
4. If unmarked, select the checkbox and click Update
