Creating a Publishing Group

Publishing Groups are the way to grant access for other Organizations to consume your content for their training. Creating a publishing group and making it available to others is a multi-step process that will include coordination with our help desk. This article will cover how to build a basic publishing group with no content or published organizations; adding Courses and published organizations will be covered in other articles.

To create a publishing group:

1. Select Publishing Groups in the Courses group on the Admin menu. This opens the Find Publishing Groups page.
2. Select Create Publishing Group in the upper right corner.
3. On the Basic Information tab,
   1. Type the Name of the publishing group.
   2. Type a Description. This is visible to administrators only.
   3. Set the Organization that will own the publishing Group. This will default to the organization in your profile.
4. On the Availability tab, select Add Organizations, select your sub-organizations that will be able to put their courses in this publishing group, and select OK.
5. Select Save to save the publishing group.

The next Best Practice steps for creating a publishing group are:

1. Add courses (see Adding Courses to Publishing Groups)
2. Add organizations you manage as Published Organizations. For those organizations you do not manage, an authorization form needs to be completed with your sales person for the organization, and our Operations team will add them as a Published Organization.
