Who can view a Resource?
On each resource, there is a Visibility setting with the following values, one of which is set on each resource:
This visibility setting determines whether users can access a specific resource when clicking on it from the "Resource Guide" page within Student Success & Engagement.
However, if any resource is shared with a student, the student will be able to access that specific resource even if it is not listed for them on their resources page, and regardless of the specific resource visibility setting.
- Shared resources are listed under "Resources Shared With You" on the students dashboard that displays when logging in to SS&E.
