I have found that many admins have trouble with this...Many times, you want to point a user to a specific course but you don’t always want to turn on the Enrollment Links as this can bypass eCommerce and approvals. The typical error an admin makes is to navigate to a course that they are enrolled into or have used the Learner Preview option (enrolls you) and grab that link from the address bar...This causes issues if shared since it tried to find the course on the users’ My Courses & Learning Plans page and usually puts up a 403 error. In order to get around this, navigate to the course via the CATALOGUE search. Click on the tile to view the course but DO NOT enroll. You can safely grab that link to use in other pages, widgets, etc.. The look should look something like this:
What’s important to note is that link contains the following: ‘course/internal/view’
Example of the same course link AFTER I enrolled or used the Learning Preview:
https://www.xxxxxxxxxx.com/learn/course/129/aligning-goals-and-priorities-to-manage-time
Essentially, you want to point to the catalogue only when grabbing these links…
Hope this helps!
