Standard or restricted?

Standard access catalogues are used by the majority of organisations. Resources are available to all Learning Hub users, but full access and general access still applies (please see below).

Use this if you have learning resources that you would like to share with others, including those outside your organisation.

Restricted access catalogues allow an organisation to limit the resources in it to specific group of users. Your catalogue admins will need to accept or deny access requests from users. They can also invite users which will send an email with a direct link to the catalogue (access approval will still need to be granted). Admins can also remove access for users.

Use this if you have learning which is specific to users within your trust and not to other people.

General and Full access resources

Resources within catalogues can be published for either full access or general access.

• Resources for general access can to be viewed and accessed by all users.
• Resources for full access can be viewed by all users but only accessed by full access users.

Users with general access can self-upgrade in the to a full access account if they meet the requirements for full access. This is done via the <My account> section of the user account.
