How people join

Open signup
— anyone can create an account and join.
Invite-only
— only people you invite can join.

With open signup you can add custom signup fields and require approval of new accounts from the Signups tab.

User groups

A user group is a named set of people — a cohort, a class, a department. Restrict a course to a group and only its members can see it. When someone buys an offer linked to a payment group, they can be added to a matching user group automatically (see Payment groups).

  1. Go to Users → User Groups and create a group.
  2. Add members.
  3. On a course's Access & Pricing tab, restrict it to the group.
