Changing the Access Level of a Class Website

Instructors set the access level for the class website, determining who has access to class or section materials and discussions. (For more information, see Public and Restricted Access to Class Websites.)

1. Do one of the following to display the Access Control page:

  •     Click Membership in the navigation bar

then click the Access Control tab.

  •     Click Staff List in the navigation bar
    then click the Access Control link.
  •     Click Website Settings, at the bottom of the navigation bar
    then click the Access Control link.
    2. Under Who Can Use This Site, select one of the following:
    Whole world: Select this option to grant Guest privileges to anyone with Internet access.
    Known users: Select this option to allow access only to individuals with either a Kerberos account or a non-MIT Stellar account.
    Class only: Select this option to allow access only to class members and faculty. Only users listed in the class user groups can log into the class website.
    3. Click the Submit button.
    Regardless of the setting you choose, restricted material (such as e-reserves from MIT libraries) and student information are limited to the class website membership.
