Delaying Content Access

Hi there. I’m brand new to S2Member and testing it on my first e-course before I purchase the full version.

My question is this.

I’m creating e-courses on different topics. Each e-course is available at different times during the year. This first one will be in session for 1 week next month. What I want to do is open registration (I want people to pay and be able to login to their account, then be redirected to the Welcome Page only which will say the course will start on the 2nd), but I don’t want then to be able to access the class info until the date the class is supposed to start.

Since I’m new, I may be missing a few things.

Is there a way to allow L1 members to login and access the welcome page only… then on the day the course starts, give access to the rest of the pages?

Maybe restrict the course category or specific pages to L2 so L1 can’t see them and then unrestrict it when the course start date comes around?

Also, I’ve set my Buy Now button up for 1 week access since that’s how long each course is in session for, but I think that won’t work since members would pay and register before the course actually starts. I don’t mind giving 1 month access… as long as I can restrict the course content until the start date.

Thanks!
