Course Guest Access

The Guest Access feature allows users to view the contents of a course without being enrolled or even without having an account. This feature is often used to provide a preview of a more detailed course available on your site.

About Guest Access #

  • Guests do not require login credentials to access courses enabled for Guest Access.
  • Guests can view all content within a course, including videos, pages, and forum discussions.
