Restricting Access to Content for Specific Groups
Last modified on 18 August 2025 07:45 PM
NOTICE: Please be advised that the content of this article may only be relevant for users concluding the final stages of course work on eClass or for users on the eClass External system. The eClass Learning Management System is currently in a read-only state that prohibits new courses, enrollments, and users from being added to the site. Credit courses and co-curricular courses at the UofA are now being delivered on Canvas, and full articles on how to use Canvas can be found here.

Instructors will often combine several of their course sections so that general course content only needs to be posted in one place. However, there may still be other content (assignments, quizzes, etc) that are specific to each section (lecture, lab, seminar, group, etc). This article will illustrate a simple example of what a course would look like with such restrictions in place.

As an instructor, you would use restrictions so that your sections (lecture, lab, seminar, groups, etc) can see their respective course content.

  • This course has two groups (Group A and Group B)
  • There are two versions of the syllabus in this course for their respective groups
  • With the restrictions set, users from Group A will see the Group A tabs while Group B can only see theirs.

 

As a reminder, these restrictions can be implemented the same way for other types of course content (assignments, quizzes, etc.).
