Choose basic access controls when your content is for public use, you only need a small group of one or more administrators, and you do not rely on a transfer script to access your site. To use basic access controls to define access to your iTunes U pages you must first turn on basic access controls, and then specify access on a per-page basis.
To turn on basic access controls:
Log in to iTunes U as the primary administrator (using your Apple ID account and your site’s administrator signin URL).
Click Edit Site Settings in the Tools area.
Choose Basic in the Site Access Control section to specify you want to use basic access controls for your site.
Click Save.
iTunes U returns you to your root Welcome page or Public Feature page, hides the Edit Access link from the Tools area, and displays the Page Access option in the Tools area so you can specify on a per-page basis whether you want your content to be public, private, or inherited.
The Page Access pop-up menu is available to all administrators on all Welcome, Public Feature, and Course pages.
Click Logout.
To specify user access on a per-page basis:
Log in to iTunes U as an administrator or another user with editing access.
Navigate to the page where you want to define page access.
Click Edit Page in the Tools area.
Choose the access level you want to assign to the page from the Page Access pop-up menu:
Public. Pages assigned Public are viewable by all users. Administrators can still edit the page, and users can access the page and download content from the page.
Private. Pages assigned Private are only viewable by site administrators. Administrators can edit the page, but users cannot access the page or download content from the page. Choosing to make a page Private is a good way to stage a page for your own use while you continue to edit the page until it is ready to be released to the public.
Inherited. Pages assigned Inherited receive the basic access assigned to the page used to navigate to the current page.
Click End Editing.
iTunes U updates the page with the new access level and displays Public, Private, or Inherited in the Page Access control in the Tools area.
Click Logout.
The page access you define at your site’s root page is inherited throughout all descendant pages in your site, unless it is explicitly overridden by a descendant page definition. For example, if you define your root page access as Public, iTunes U defines access for all descendant pages as: Inherited (Public).
