The access options you select determine the permissions and actions a user can perform in the specific iTunes U group, including whether he or she can even view the group.
Use this permission | For this result |
|---|---|
No Access | Users assigned No Access cannot see the group. Only the instructor and course manager (or another user with editing access) can see the group. |
Download | Users assigned Download can access the group and download content from the group. Only the instructor or course manager (or another user with editing access) can upload content to the group. |
Drop Box | Users assigned Drop Box can access the group and upload content to the group. Users with this permission see only the items they uploaded, not those of other users. Only the instructor or course manager (or another user with editing access) can see all of the contents. |

Edit | Users assigned Edit can access the group and upload, download, and delete content from the group. |
When you define user access to a Course page group, iTunes U automatically updates the user’s group-level access. This access does not change unless you explicitly change it. Even if the site administrator updates access for the user’s credential on a parent page, iTunes U retains the access you defined at the group level.
To assign user access to a group:
Make sure you are editing a Course page (click Edit Page in the Tools area).
Click the Edit icon in the tab whose group-level user access you want to define.
Choose the access level you want to assign to a user from the user’s Access pop-up menu.
iTunes U automatically updates your site access rules and assigns the permission to the user.
Note: If no Group Access Label was defined for a user’s credential in a parent page’s Edit Access page, the user does not appear in the Access box and you cannot assign group-level access for the user.
Repeat step 3 for each user you want to assign access for the selected group.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each group in the Course page.
Click End Editing.
