Restricting Access

The Restrict Access setting for activities and resources in Moodle allows you to limit access to resources based on various criteria.  To set up restrictions, follow these steps:

Step 1 When creating an activity, click the Restrict access link.

Step 3 You have eight options of types of restrictions to apply to the activity: Activity completion, Date, Grade, Group, Grouping, User profile, Release code, and Restriction set.  Choose which type of restriction you would like to apply.  Once you've added a restriction, you will then choose the parameters for the restriction. You can then repeat the process to add additional restrictions, if you wish.

Once you have selected your restriction(s) and set the desired parameters, you can continue editing the activity or you can save it.
