• Go into your Content Collection. Check the box next to the file you wish to share. Click on Modify to the far right of that file. • Click on Passes. You will get a message that says “There are currently no passes for this resource.” Click Add Pass. • Set the “Lifetime” of the pass (how many hours, days, etc that you want someone to have access to this file. • Set the Permission, (Read or Read/Write) • Click Submit. • Click Email Pass. Fill out the Email address and add any other message you wish to send. • Click Submit…OK…OK…OK. • You are back in the Content System. • Printable Version I have copied my course from last semester and imported it into the course shell for this semester. Why can’t my students see the files? They are getting a permission error. • When files are initially linked to a course, a pop-up box will announce that Read permissions have been given to the users of the course. When a course is exported and then imported into another shell, the links are transferred
