Setting Your Community Access

When you are creating your Community, you will need to specify who will have access. The following options are available:

  • Students that purchase this community
    Students who have purchased and enrolled in your Community 
  • All students that are logged into your site
    Students who are logged into your site can access your Community regardless of their enrollment status
  • Students in selected courses or bundles
    Limit access to a specific course or bundle on your site. With this option, Community members are automatically added (or removed) based on their current enrollments
  • Students in selected groups
    Limit access to a specific group. With this option, Community members are automatically added (or removed) based on the groups they are currently assigned to. Groups must be created before they will be available in the dropdown menu. Learn more in our article Create a Group

Updating Your Community Access

You can edit your Community access after it has been created if you would like. This is common when you want to change the course or bundle the Community is associated with for example.
