Hi
all,
We are part of a consortium that
shares the same Blackboard software/licence, and we split it into areas based
on Institution role. Guest access has always been a problem, as we have the
conflicting need to open courses to students by institution without letting
users from the other institutions have access.
We are in the middle of testing
version 7.1.324.28 and
were led to believe that in this version domains would enable us to open
courses to guest access for users assigned to that domain only (once they were
associated with a domain) – that this would effectively remove our previous
guest access problem. In our testing however, we have found this is not the
case. A course opened for guest access and assigned to a domain can still be
accessed by a user from another institution (with no sys admin
privileges). Does anyone have experience of successfully setting up
domains so that guest access is locked down to the users in that domain?
The manual doesn’t cover this and Behind Blackboard is also providing
little information.
Any
help appreciated.
Many
thanks,
