Restricted Authors of Course

You can restrict the eligible authors for any course. By default all admins are able to edit any course.

When you create a course it is editable by the author and any other admin within your organization. If you want to limit the set of authors for a particular course, you can do this through the course settings experience.

To begin, open up the course settings via the course action button in the editor.

There are three available author restrictions.

Restriction: Any Admin

Any admin with the organization has the ability to edit this course. This is the default option.

Restriction: Only Course Author

Only the course author who created the course can be the editor. No other admins in the organization can edit this course.

Restriction: Course Author and Others

In this setting, you can select 1 or more other authors in addition to the course author to be editors.

You select the additional editors and then save the changes. Now if anyone else from your organization who is not on the approved editor list attempts to open the course, they will see a dialog letting them know they do not have permissions.
