Hi,

A buddy recommended me to get the s2member pro version but I want to check if this is easy to do:

I have 4 courses, each on a different page. The courses are meant to be free for my students and I do not want them to go through any payment gateway, at least at the moment. However, I do wish to keep my options open.

I want restricted access for different pupils and the assignment of access to be automated. For example, if a student selects his class (in real life) during registration, he is automatically assigned to access to course 1 but not to the others, and so on…

May I know if it’s possible and easy to do? And where I can find the instructions?

Thank you in advance! :)

Regards,
Kevin

Thank you for your inquiry.

I’m sorry for the delay over the weekend.

s2Member can certainly accomplish this. You’ll want to use s2Member’s Custom Capabilities to restrict access to your content, instead of Membership Levels. The reason for this is because s2Member’s Membership Levels are incremental, so if you separate your content into Membership Levels, anyone at s2Member Level 2 will have access to content protected at s2Member Levels 1 & 0, and so on.

Custom Capabilities do not work that way. They are completely separate from Membership Levels and can be used to protect content in just about the same ways. There’s a very in-depth explanation of what Custom Capabilities are in this video:

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Custom Capabilities

You can sell Custom Capabilities either through regular Payment Buttons/Forms, or separately with Capability Buy-Now Buttons/Forms:

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Buttons -› Capability (Buy Now) Buttons
