Managing Access Controls
The Access Controls Tab determines what information is shared within the Platform, namely data sharing capabilities, product request permissions, and membership approvals.
To enter the Access Controls Tab go to Settings > Access Controls.
Access Controls can be only viewed by administrators.
Data Sharing with Educators
The Data Sharing with Educators option allows you to determine the level of access that your organization wants to provide to educators. The options include access to data such as:
- Inventory Data (an organization’s product library) If you do not share this with educators they will not see the products in your district library.
- Organization can check the option to "Block the LearnCommunity from Educators" then educators within the organization will not see the LearnCommunity in the organization selector menu, and it will also prevent results from the LearnCommunity from showing up in the Organization Library.
- Product Feedback Data (*see Tip)
- Product Pricing Data
- Product IMPACT Data
- Feedback Data - "share my data anonymously" will hide Educators' names in the Feedback Tab. To view the Grades provided by Educators do not select this option.
Educator View of Data
After your settings are determined, Educators can view data when they review specific Products. The data is displayed in the Product Details section via Tabs.
Products > Details (for a particular product) > Feedback / IMPACT / Pricing

Approved members will default to educator status. If you wish to set an administrator status for incoming members please refer to Adding or Removing Administrators.
