Public or Private? The visibility of your Learning Portal
You can manage how your learners get access to your Learning Portal.
Private
By default the Portal is always set to a Private mode, to be accessed only via a login form which requires Learners to have an active account.
In this mode, your Learning Portal is in "Invite mode" only:
- Staff users register Learners and have the option to enrol the new account in any of your courses.
- Learners receive an invite via email,
- Learners activate their account by choosing a password.
There is also an option to bypass the invite email and instead choose a password on their behalf, when better suited to your needs.
Public
Alternatively, you can make your Learning Portal Public, and allow members of the public to sign-up instead.
This is achieved by activating the "Allow Sign-ups?" setting in the Xen Admin Panel. When set to “Allow”, the Learning Portal will display a sign-up page to the public, as well as a link to this page in the main navigation:
You can also set your courses to be open so registered learners can self-enrol, or use the Xen e-commerce option to provide access against a 1-time or recurring payment. The Xen customer success is available to discuss this option for your tenancy.
