====== Restrict access ======

"**Restric access**" allow teachers to attach conditions to access to an activity or work material in a course room. Such conditions or prerequisites can be:

  * A specific date or a fixed period of time
  * An assessment (grade, score, etc.) that must be achieved beforehand in the course or in another activity
  * The completion of a previous activity

==== Setting up prerequisites for a work material or activity ====

Go to the configuration page of the work material or activity for which you want to restrict availability, i.e. link it to certain prerequisites. \\ 

To do this:

Activate the "**Edit mode**" > Click on the three dots on the right side of the material or activity > Select "**Edit settings**" from the drop-down menu.

In the “**Restrict access**” section at the bottom of the "**Settings**" page, click on "**Add restrictions...**" button. \\
A window opens in which you can click on different types of prerequisites to restrict the access.

**Date** \\
Use this criterion to specify that the work material or activity is available from and / or until a certain date / time.

**Grade** \\
With this criterion, you define a condition for a specific assessment in the course: This can be a condition for the overall assessment in the course or for the assessment of an individual activity. You can specify a minimum or maximum number of points (given as a percentage) or both or neither. You can create multiple assessment criteria (read more on [[https://docs.moodle.org/404/en/Restrict_access_settings|Moodle.org]]).

**Group** \\
You can restrict the visibility of the work material or activity to a specific group or grouping. This button only appears if there are groups or groupings in the course. See [[en:moodle:user:groups:start:#group_access_for_activities_or_material|Group access for activities or material]].//
