How to Manage the Community Access Settings of your School

With your LearnWorlds school, not only do you enlighten your users with your valuable knowledge, but you can also create a thriving interactive community


Your users will be able to discuss with you and with each other about your courses by creating groups or communicating with private messages. You can find out more about the Community in our respective article.


Click on Settings Community Access.

School Community

Let your users discuss issues, exchange ideas and tips, and share their experiences and advice within a community of practice. You can:

  • Activate or deactivate the community for your school.

  • Decide if you want only the logged-in users or only paying users to be able to use the community. You can also decide what to do with the non-paying users. You can redirect them to any other page, course, or Bundle, by choosing an option from the drop-down menu or sending an alert message instead!


Course discussion

You can enable the course discussion option for your courses but if you wish to disable it in one of them you can do so by disabling the respective option under the course player tab of the course. There are also some settings about community and course discussions you can change like

  • Permissions (Allow your members to interact inside the discussion feed, allow them to add posts, polls, and comments)
  • Reactions (Allow the type of reactions you will offer to the learners, they can upvote a post or a comment, like a post or a comment, and share the link of the post)
  • Attachments (Allow the type of attachments the learners will be able to upload images, videos, and files)
  • Access Course discussions (Control how course discussions will be accessed by your learners, will they appear in the community and course player or only in the course player?)
  • Course discussion level (You can have different discussions for each learning activity or one for the whole course)

Users will be able to upload posts with images, text, polls, and files, categorize posts, or search for them you can check more information about How to Create and Manage your School’s Community.


On the other hand, admins can be notified when a social post or comment is made. This can also apply to instructors if the comment is added to the course discussion. Last but not least, Community Space Managers are also informed about such actions. You can find out more here

Messenger (Inbox)

You can determine whether you want your users to be able to discuss through your school's inbox or not. You can set the exact level of communication users will have through their school’s Inbox. You can:

  • Let your learners send messages to anyone.

  • Let your learners send messages to admins only.

  • Deactivate any private communication. In this case, no notification/email for badges, certifications, etc., will be sent to the users either.


If you activate the option only to send messages to admins and you have custom Administrative roles in your school, users will be able to message those users.
