Pathway Visibility Settings

Pathway visibility settings determine who in your organization can see and access Pathways. The visibility options available to you depend on your permissions and whether you are an author or a collaborator on the Pathway.

When viewing a Pathway, the visibility setting displays next to the list of Collaborators on the Pathway page.

When editing a Pathway, a drop down allows you to change the visibility setting.

Optionally, you can change the visibility setting when you edit the Pathway Details.

When creating or editing a Pathway, the following visibility settings are available:

• My Profile (private):
  • This is the default setting when creating a Pathway, if you do not add any collaborators.
  • Displays as "Private to collaborators" on the Pathway page.

About Org-managed Pathways

For users with the Manage Pathways permission, org-managed Pathways are available on the Manage Pathways page in Degreed Admin regardless of the visibility setting. The following actions make a Pathway org-managed:

• Setting the visibility to Visible to Groups.
• Setting the visibility to Visible to the Organization.
• Checking the option in the Pathway Settings dialog to Allow collaborators to publish this pathway to the organization.
• Adding org-managed content (content from your organization's catalog) to the Pathway.

Once you perform any of the above actions, the Pathway is org-managed, and will remain so. Changing the visibility back to Private to Collaborators or removing all org-managed content, will not undo this action.
