Adding and Managing Restrictions
Moodle offers the option to Add and Manage Restrictions for items and Tools that are added to the Course Shell.
Restrictions can be added on:
- Assignments
- Discussion Forums
- Files
- Folders
- just about any Moodle Activity
Note: If you are planning on adding a restriction to restrict access to a certain Group of students, the Groups must be created first in the Participants tab of the course.
First you need to add the Tool or item to your course. Once you have done this, you can Add and Manage Restrictions by following these steps after you make sure Edit Mode is turned on in the top right hand side of your Course Screen.
