QR Code Access Requirements

QR codes link directly to the Learner Workspace. Access to a course via QR code is determined by the user’s permissions and the course’s visibility settings:

  • Private Courses: Users must be assigned to the course to access it via the QR code.
  • Public Courses: Users can access the course via QR code as long as it is available to them in the Learner Workspace. A course is considered available when the user meets at least one of the following conditions: they are enrolled in the course, assigned to it, invited to it, or have visibility through training category permissions.

If a course is private and not assigned, or if the user does not have permission to view the associated training category, the QR code will not provide access.

Additionally, if a course is not mobile-compatible, scanning a QR code intended to open it in the mobile app may not successfully display the course.
