Make a module or organisation available/unavailable - Staff Guide
A module must be made available before students enrolled on the module can view, or access the module and its content. When modules are created, they are unavailable by default, so that you can prepare and build your content, before making it available.
Users who are enrolled on a module with a staff role (instructor, assistant, builder, grader), can see and access unavailable modules from the Modules page. Users with a student enrolment, can see unavailable modules but cannot access them.
This guidance also applies to organisations.
