Restrict course access
Hey articulate community,
I am trying to develop a course where a new employee who could also be a new manager can go through the same course, but the manager has an additional portion like a manager manager‘s corner that shares manager only teachings and learning regarding the topic.
I am trying to obviously restrict that to the manager that’s hired and not open it to employees so any suggestion would be appreciated
I created a sample course with 3 parts and 4th part needs to accessible only to particular role - trying to avoid creating 2 lessons for same with one more tab
Has anyone tried that ?
thanks

Are you trying to retrieve job titles from the LMS and use them to restrict access to the course's fourth part?
Would it not be easier to take your "part 4" and make it a separate course or module, which is only assigned to managers?
I agree with CarlFink1: The easiest solution is to put the managers' content into a separate course.
Rise doesn't have a way to force specified users to complete a lesson while preventing others from accessing it. It might be doable with heavy-duty JavaScript in code blocks, but they'd have to rely on local storage.
It could be done in Storyline. But you'd need to password protect the managers' content, give the password to the managers, and hope it doesn't get shared. Or, perhaps, it might work with a strong JavaScript solution that integrates with the LMS to identify who has to take the managers' content.
IMHO, those workarounds are more problematic and harder to maintain than just having a separate course.
