Set Access Restrictions For a Unit

Set Access Restrictions For a Unit#

If you have more than one enrollment track in your course, or if you have enabled cohorts, you can limit a unit’s availability to specific groups of learners. For information about offering different content to different learner groups, see Offering Different Content to Different Learner Groups.

Note

A unit’s group access settings are inherited by components in the unit. If you set additional group access restrictions for a component, make sure the component access settings do not contradict the unit access settings. For example, you cannot give Group A of learners access to a component if Group A does not have access to the unit that contains the component.

Tp specify a unit’s access settings, follow these steps.

In Studio, select Content, and then select Outline.
For the unit that you want to restrict access to, select the vertical dots icon, then select Configure to bring up the unit’s configuration menu.

You can also access the Restrict access to option from the gear icon next to a unit’s name on a unit page in Studio.
In the unit’s Settings dialog box, for the Restrict access to option, select the group type by which you want to restrict access.

The Enrollment Track Groups option is available only if your course has more than one Enrollment Track. The Content Groups option is available only if you have created content groups for use with cohorts.

After you select a group type, you see a list of the groups that exist for that group type.

Select the checkbox for each group for which you want the current unit to be available.
Select Save.

The groups which have access to the unit are listed under the unit title in the Studio course outline, as well as under the unit title on the unit page in Studio.
