Using Oncourse Podcasts, how do I manage access to my podcasts?
Note: To complete these procedures, you must be assigned a role having the necessary permissions. To determine your role, follow the directions in Participant roles.

With the Podcasts tool, you can restrict access to your podcasts to site participants only, or you can make them available to the public. You can also edit permissions, and define who is allowed to create, revise, and delete podcasts.
