Can I restrict Forum access or questions based on session within an ILT course?

Hi, I do not believe this is possible.

You could achieve this with Channels using the Cohort feature but that would require the creation of groups to keep the conversations limited only to those users in each group.

Hi ​@gallajo8727 ,

Adding to the ​@lrnlab  excellent suggestion above: using Channels and Cohorts is definitely the best native way to isolate conversations. However, it introduces a new challenge: Admin overhead.

Because Channels are gated by Groups and not ILT Sessions, Docebo doesn't automatically move a learner into "Session 1's Group" just because they enrolled in Session 1. Doing this manually for every session quickly becomes a full-time job.

If you run these sessions frequently, the best approach is to automate this sync using Docebo Connect (or standard API webhooks).

When I architect ILT automation for organizations, we typically set up a flow that looks like this:

1. A learner enrolls in the ILT Session.

2. A webhook triggers Docebo Connect (or your middleware).

3. The automation automatically makes an API call to add that specific user to the designated Group for that session's Cohort.

This gives you the best of both worlds: the learners get a perfectly isolated, "fresh slate" Channel for their cohort, and your admins don't have to manually update group rosters before every single class.

If you're interested in exploring the automation route, you can check out how Docebo Connect handles user management workflows and webhooks here: Webhooks – Docebo Help Center (Note: Docebo recently moved their deep technical API/Webhook documentation to their new Developer Portal, which you can access via that link).

Hope this gives you a clear path forward!
