Content Collection Permissions for Students
- Cassandra Rinker
- Shana Blackshire
After you add content to the Content Collection, you must grant permission to make the content accessible to users and groups of users. You can allow students to view all files in the Content Collection or restrict certain files or folders.
Set Read Permissions for Students:
Enter a Course.
Select Content Collection in the Course Management Control Panel.
Select the Course ID (course name) to view the Content Collection for this course.
Click the drop-down chevron next to Course Content: Course Name at the top of the page.
Select Permissions.
Mouse over Select Specific Users By Place, then select Course.
Select the Role (Student) and Permissions (Read).
Click Submit to set permissions for files in this course’s content collection.
Confirm Students have read access only to the content.
Remove Read Permissions for Students
We suggest putting all files you do not want students to have access to in one folder so that setting the permission on the folder denies access to all files in that folder instead of selecting the permission on each file.
If you don't want students have read access to all files, continue with the steps below:
Select the Folder (or file) in your Content Collection that you do not want students to be able to access.
Click the drop-down chevron next to the folder or file name.
Select Permissions.
Check the box in the row for Student permissions [Course Name: Student (User List)].
Select Delete at the bottom of the list of user types.
Click OK in the lower right corner.
Students will no longer have access to the file or folder where permissions were removed.
