Heartbeat automatically creates an Access Group for every course. This group manages who can access course content and discussions. Look for the book icon 📖 next to the group name.
Can I delete this group?
No. Course Access Groups can only be deleted by deleting the entire course. They're permanently linked.
How can I use this group?
Create course-only spaces:
- Private discussion channels for course students
- Share bonus materials and resources
- Set up study groups and peer networking
- Host course-specific events
Layer with other groups:
- Combine with completion-based groups ("Module 1 Done")
- Create VIP access for top performers
- Transition graduates to alumni groups
The course group gives you a ready-made community of engaged learners - use it to build connections and provide extra value beyond your course content.
