Click Create a Rule, then choose which type of sharing rule you want to create.

Share by Class

Sharing by class allows you to include an entire class using methods like the class name or the teacher's email. This is the most common type of sharing rule used.

Watch this video to learn how to set it up.

Share by Person

This rule allows you to include or exclude specific users.
If the person is a teacher, you can also choose to share all their associated enrollments.

Share by School

This allows you to include or exclude an entire school — helpful if you want to exclude everyone from a particular building, for example.
