Using Page Groups For Your Axis LMS Websites

Within Axis LMS, you are able to restrict what pages a user is able to view based on what user groups they are a member of. This enables you to create different 'User Portals' based on the user group each user is a member of.

Before you get started, you will need at least one user group.

Once your system has at least one user group, you’ll want to begin assigning which page group each page group is associated with.

To assign a user group to a page group, go into your Learning Portal Settings (System > Site Design > Learning Portal Website > Edit Learning Portal Settings [gear icon]) and then expand the Page Group Settings.

 

Depending on your plan, you can assign from 10 to 100 different page groups, essentially giving you the ability to set up 10 to 100 different user portals to different user groups.

Editing Page Group Pages
Because of the large amount of pages you are likely to amass, you are able to sort your pages by page group/portal so that you always know who will see the pages in that group.

 

Page Group Defaults

When you select a category to work with, you will notice certain changes to the defaults of widgets created.
 
One of the more noticeable examples of this is the navigation strip / bar. Instead of displaying ‘top level’ pages (pages assigned to ‘Default Page Group’), the navigation will be optimized for this page group and default to showing only the pages included in this page group.
 
You can change what pages are displayed in the navigation by editing the widget, then choosing what Page Group’s navigation should be displayed.

 
However, the default navigation widgets are set up to always show the pages each user has access to.
