There are three separate places in the course control panel where guest
access needs to be enabled:
Guest access needs to be enabled at the course level:
- Go to the Control Panel.
- In the "Course Options" area in the lower left, click on "Settings".
- Click on "Guest Access".
- Choose "Yes", and click the Submit button.
Guest access needs to be enabled for each tool area to which guests
should have access.
- Go to the Control Panel.
- In the "Course Options" area in the lower left, click on "Manage
Tools".
Click on "Enable Blackboard Tools".
- In the "Allow Guest" column, click on each of the available boxes.
(Many tools, such as discussion board and gradebook, will show "n/a" in
this column, because those tools are not available to guests.)
Guest access needs to be enabled for each content area to which guests
should have access.
- Go to the Control Panel.
- In the "Course Options" area in the lower left, click on "Manage
Course Menu".
- You will see a list of the content areas for your site. To enable
guest access to a particular content area, click on the corresponding
Modify button.
- Click on the box for "Allow guest access" if it's not already checked,
and click the Submit button.

Onderwerp: Guest Access to courses
Dear All,
Any light on the following would be appreciated.
Currently, course instructors are enrolling people as guests on their
course. I've set the system setting to allow Guests Access and to allow
Guest Access to course. However, Guests can access the course but
nothing is displayed (apart from the course map). The menu buttons all
allow guest view. It appears that the Allow Guest access within the
Control Panel >> settings is greyed out.
The question is ... am I missing something?
We are using 6.1.5.5-AppPack1
Thanks in advanced
Andy
