MyCourses workspaces are open access by default.

The user must have a role in a workspace in order to participate in activities (discussions, assignments).

Roles in a MyCourses workspace are usually Sisu-based (i.e., automatic). Roles can be assigned also manually or, in some cases, by self-enrolment. More info on enrolment.

Teachers can see Participants listed, along with their roles, groups they belong to, and last access time.

Access to workspaces can be restricted (Read more).

Guest

• A guest is a non-logged-in user.
• A guest has no role in a workspace.
• By default, guests have a read-only access to workspaces.

Aalto / HAKA logged-in user

• An Aalto or a HAKA-logged-in user has access to all workspaces and to non-restricted materials.
