# Define user access to course within external learning content

Define user access to configure who has read access to external learning content.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Learning** > **Content** > **External Content**.

2.  Open the external learning course that you want to define user access for.

3.  On the Can Read tab, select **Edit**.

4.  Add users who should have access to the external learning course.

5.  On the Cannot Read tab, select **Edit**.

6.  Add users who should not have access to the external learning course.

    **Note:** If a user is present in both Can Read and Cannot Read related lists, the Cannot Read takes precedence and the user is restricted from read access to that external learning course.
