In Oncourse CL, from Worksite Setup, how do I control access to my course or project site?

Note: To complete the procedures in this document, you must be assigned a role having the necessary permissions. To determine your role, follow the directions in Participant roles. To view a list of permissions associated with a given role, see Permissions, roles, and tools. For a basic understanding of roles and permissions, see Permissions and roles: Overview.

Using Worksite Setup, you can control access to your course or project site:

1. From the menubar in My Workspace, click Worksite Setup, and then check the box next to the site that you wish to revise.

   Note: Although you can check multiple boxes, you can only edit information about one site at a time.

2. Click Edit, and then Manage Access.
   
   
3. Under "Site Status", choose whether or not to publish your site (i.e., make it available to site participants).
   
   

   Note: If you choose not to publish your site, students in the course no longer see the course tab in their Oncourse CL workspaces. Students may become confused about whether they are officially registered for your course if they do not see it in their workspaces, particularly in the few weeks prior to the beginning of a new semester.

   Individuals with any type of instructor role (AI/TA, instructor, assistant) will still have access to the course when it is not published.

4. Under "Global Access", choose whether to keep your site private or have it display in the directory and allow sharing of files you select.
   
   
5. You can make your site broadly accessible by checking Can be joined by anyone with authorization to login, and selecting a role for people who join your site. For more information about roles, see Participant roles.
   
   
6. Click Update.
