Hi team,

I have seven lessons that need to be published in my course on the Docebo platform. Some lessons are required only for a specific audience. For example, the Animal Welfare lesson should be mandatory only for Animal Welfare Auditors.

Could you please advise how I can configure the Docebo settings so that this lesson is mandatory for Animal Welfare Auditors only?

Also, for the exam, how can I make certain questions (e.g., Animal Welfare questions) optional while keeping the other questions mandatory in the settings?

Hi ​@aryas you should look to use Groups and Enrolment rules to manage this since you can define on the enrolment a different set of “rules” for the assignment than you would for other users.

Hi ​@aryas ,

To build on ​@lrnlab’s  excellent advice, it's important to clarify a core platform behavior before you spend time trying to configure this: Docebo does not support hiding or requiring specific lessons based on a user's group within the same course. 

Similarly, Docebo tests do not allow you to make specific questions dynamically optional based on the audience. If a question is in a test, everyone taking that test must complete it.

Because of these platform rules, you cannot build this as a single 7-lesson course. Here is the cleanest architectural approach:

  1. Core Course: Create your main course with the 6 standard lessons and the standard exam. Enroll your entire general audience here.

  2. Auditor Course: Create a separate, specialized course containing only the "Animal Welfare" lesson and an exam containing the auditor-specific questions.

  3. Automate the Assignment: Create an Automatic Group for your Animal Welfare Auditors. Because automatic groups dynamically populate based on user profiles, you can use the Enrollment Rules app to automatically assign the Auditor Course only to this specific group.

When I’ve deployed this for organizations with strict compliance roles, separating the specialized content into its own course ensures reporting stays perfectly clean and avoids learners getting stuck on content they aren't supposed to see.

You can read more about setting up your target audience here: Managing groups, and combine it with the Enrollment Rules app @lrnlab linked above.

Hope this clarifies the platform's mechanics and saves you some configuration headaches!

Hi ​@Moshe.Machlav ,

 

I was thinking the same that splitting the course role wise would be the only solution. Few LMS have such features built in so thought to check in with the community here.

Thank you so much for the detailed response ! Thats helpful!
