FAQ
How do I setup an Access Code?
Go to the properties page of your classroom, personal website, ePortfolio, or community, and enter the Access Code in the space provided. Then press Save.
How should I distribute Access Code to others?
Either use the built-in invite tool or just email others and give them the Access Code. Note that some entities (e.g. Classes, study groups, private groups, and Tutor Rooms also require distribution of a system generated ID).
Do members have to enter Access Code every time they access my site?
No, members use the Access Code once to join a group or website. After that, they'll have direct access.
I want everyone to view my site, how can I do that?
By default, regular pages of a website are viewable by all visitors. Access Codes are only used to control membership of your site or group.
Note: Classrooms, Private groups, Study groups, and Tutor rooms are fully protected by default. That means, one has to join to access any information.
What do Access Codes Protect?
They protect who can join your class, website, ePortfolio or group. Also certain content and message boards that are only available to members of your class, group or website is protected.
I think my Access Code has been exposed/leaked. Can I change it without affecting current members?
Yes, you can change the Access Code at any time. Current members of your website or group will not be affected. Future members will need to know the new Access Code.
