Course Access Restriction

Course Access Restriction is a setting for restricting access to a course under the following scenarios.

1.) You can begin access to a course at a specific date.

2.) You can restrict access to a specific amount of days (from the course purchase date)

Create a New Project and choose the Launch a Course option to create a membership project and Add a New Course; if you already have a project created, navigate inside the project and choose your existing course.

1. Click the Course settings option under the Settings dropdown.
   
   

         2. You can find the Course Access section with two checkbox options and you can choose either of the           options or both depending on your requirements. 

Let's discuss both the options below 

Option 1:  Begin access at a specific date

When you select the checkbox, then a textbox opens below.    

Click on the textbox, and the date picker will open

You can choose the date from which this course will be accessible to the members, 

All the members can access the course on the date specified by you. 

When the members try to view the course before the date specified by you, they will get a  message stating the course availability based on the number of days left for the start of the course. 

Option 2:  Restrict access to specific amount of days (from the course purchase date)

Here you can basically set the expiry of a course to a specific number of days from the date of purchase. 

The members can view and access the course from the purchase date, based on the number of days entered here.

Beyond this (the mentioned number of days) the users will not be able to view the contents and the course access will expire.
