The author is "god". Keeping out of the heads of some or all of the characters is often a good thing, often an essential thing (for example in a whodunnit), but it can't be a hard and fast rule.

As Kipling put it:

There are nine and sixty ways of constructing tribal lays
And every single one of them is right.
