Access explained
In addition to visibility, access can also be restricted in the course navigation. Access here means whether the actual content of the respective course element is displayed to the learner in the content area of the course view.
Content may be visible in whole or in part, and individual functions of the course element may or may not be available, as illustrated by the following examples.

General access to a course element's entire content can be restricted. If the course element is generally accessible to learners, they will be able to open the content area for this course element. However, if the course element is not generally accessible to learners, it will still be displayed in the left course navigation, but the course element’s content area will be completely hidden and an individual user note will be displayed.
Here is an example of a structure course element whose general access was restricted by a date that had not yet been reached at the time the screenshot was taken.
Depending on the selected course element, individual functions can also be provided with a specific access restriction. In this case, individual user notes will reveal which functions are available under which conditions.
The following example shows a test course element that is only accessible to selected user groups within a specified period if there is already assessment data available from another course element.
