Hi Carrie!

If you are setting up your course navigation with branching based on the roles as you mentioned, you should be able to display the menu and I would advise that you set the menu to Locked so that the user could not navigate to those slides. I do not believe that you could gray out the certain items though.

Outside of this, hopefully someone in the community will be able to assist with your design need.

Hi Carrie, 

I was wondering if you have found the solution, as I currently need to solve a similar issue with the menu.

    Unfortunately we did not find a solution. We ended up putting Facilitator Only in parentheses after each menu item that was specific to the facilitator but anyone viewing the class could access any of the menu items.

    After using that method for some time, we finally ended up breaking them into two separate courses. A bit more work because we have two courses to update but better for the learners.

    Thanks,
    Carrie
