Question
- I want to make my community Private, but I cannot.
- Why can't I set my community to Private?
Solution
Only communities that are available for purchase can be set to Private. This means that you will not be able to set the course to Private if your community access setting is set to:
- Students in selected courses or bundles
- Students in selected groups
The option will be greyed out until you set the access setting to Students that purchase this community.
Before updating your access settings, make sure to review Communities: Access and Enrollments for impact to existing students when updating access settings.
Important Considerations
- When you create a new community, its access setting is set to All students that are logged into your site by default.
- Any community can be set to Hidden, regardless of its Access settings.
