Enable Access for Specific People (Whitelist)

By enabling access only for specific people, you can control who will be able to login to your course.

Written by María Isabel Zuleta Zapata

A whitelist (Access List) is a list of learners who are granted access to a course based on their email addresses. This helps you control who can and cannot see your course.

To create an Access List:

  1. Click on the Publish button at the top-right corner of your course.

  2. Under the Direct link section, go to Allow access to and click Anyone.

  3. Select Only invited learners.

  4. Click Manage invites.

  5. Here you can add learners by:

    • Entering their email addresses.

    • Selecting learners or groups from your organization.

    • Importing a list of learners through a CSV file.

  6. (Optional) Select the Send invite email checkbox if you want learners to receive an email invitation.

  7. Click Invite.

Your learners will have access to the course through the unique course link that will be sent to their emails if you selected to send invite email, or you can also copy it and share it directly with your learners.

Invite multiple learners at once

You can invite multiple learners to your course at the same time by using one of the following options:

Select learners from your organization

Click on the "Organization" option to select the learners you'd like to invite to the course directly from the organization's learners.

When selecting learners from your organization, you can use Groups to invite multiple learners at once. Selecting a group will automatically add all learners in that group to the invite list.

Import learners from a CSV file

You can also create a CSV file containing your learners' email addresses and import the whole batch by clicking Import from CSV.

If someone whose email address is not included in the Access List attempts to open the course, they will not be able to access the content.

Note: Make sure to click the Update course button each time the Access List is enabled or disabled, or when learners are added or removed from the list.
