Why is my restricted course showing on the login page?

Updated by Carolina Martin

This happens when public course visibility is still enabled at the portal level, even if individual courses are set to Restricted.

Correct fix

  1. Click the dropdown (▼) next to your profile icon and select Settings.

Profile dropdown in the top navigation bar with Settings highlighted
  1. On the General page, scroll down to Miscellaneous Settings.

  2. Toggle Disable public courses → OFF.

Stop members or learners from seeing the “All” courses tab

If you don’t want a membership or learners to browse every course via the All courses tab, you have two options:

  • Disable public courses (steps above) so only the courses a learner is enrolled in are visible, not the public catalogue.

  • As a Super Admin, hide the Courses menu for them: in Settings, click Permissions, then in the Courses row untick the user type — for example Learner. Use the Preview on the right to check the left-hand menu each user type will get.

For granular control over what each user type can see, see Permission settings.
