Quick Start Guide
Further - Assigning Content Access
When do I have to grant content access to members of my School?
Some of the best content on Further is 'premium', meaning you need a license to use it. Premium content is grouped into access areas called realms, such as 'pi-top' and 'makerbot'.
If your school has a building license to the content then all members automatically have access and you do not need to assign it to members directly.
If your school's license has a limited number of seats then you will need to assign the content access it provides to particular members.
If students are already assigned content that they do not have access warnings will be shown on the school roster page:
