Obito explained that while we was the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he could not use
Kamui, his Mangekyo Sharingan's unique ability. He was later able to use it
when the Ten-Tails was extracted from him, and while we was trying to take the
Tailed Beasts from Madara and while fighting Kaguya Otsutsuki.

The same is explained in the Naruto wiki:

> There is really something wrong on how Kamui interacts with Juubi's
> Jinchuriki body. **Way back in Chapter 643, it was noted that by being the
> ten-tails jinchuriki, Obito can no longer use his Kamui** to travel through
> his pocket dimension nor to become intangible.

(emphasis my own)

But while Madara was on his goal to retrieve his other Rinnegan which Obito
hid, he was able to use Kamui to get to Obito's pocket dimension and take his
Rinnegan back. But he did all of this while he was the Jinchuriki of Ten-
Tails.

It's shown _[in this YouTube
video](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DiM_-
tfPxrT0&ved=2ahUKEwjM6_3Px8_xAhUVk2oFHblgBn0QwqsBMAF6BAgKEAE&usg=AOvVaw0eayVBEwOTOQdlHkPJte5r)_
that Madara uses Kamui to retrieve his Rinnegan.

To sum it up, Obito, the original owner of the Kamui ability was not able to
use the ability while he was Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. However, while Madara was
Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he used Kamui, retrieved his Rinnegan, then came back to
the actual world.

Why did this happen? Is it ever explained?

How could Madara use Kamui as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki while Obito himself couldn't?
