The caster is in an enclosed area and casts darkness in the area, can the caster of the spell see inside that darkness or is it as dark for the caster as well as for every other creature within the affected area?
If you want to be able to see in magical darkness you need to be a shadow sorcerer casting it with sorcery points, or a warlock with the devil's sight invocation.

D&D Beyond FoundersThe darkness spell doesn't grant the caster the ability to see through it.
The Dungeons & Dragons rules are pretty good about such things - if it did give such an ability, it would state so within the text of the spell.
