Set Guest access

Guests are anyone who can access your course without logging into Moodle first. This can be handy for visiting lecturers who simply don't need to do much in Moodle except a read-only view into a course. Guests are restricted in terms of what they can do, i.e. they can't post into forums, submit assignments or do any kind of grading etc. They are useful, but also can be limiting. If you need to give someone a richer access to Moodle, we recommend you seek to get them a proper UCL account. More information can be found here: UCL Services System

By default when you add Guest access it is hidden, this means the enrolment method will not be applied until you unhide/activate it.
