You can create Terms & Conditions (T&C) at the global and module (i.e., page-specific) level.
- If your global Terms & Conditions are enabled, users are required to accept them the first time they log in; if they don't, they won't be granted access. Your global T&C should reflect your organization's policies and priorities regarding the online behavior expected of your members. It protects your organization legally and provides the rationale for managing undesired user actions and removing inappropriate content.
- You can also create module T&C and apply them to any page(s) you want, forcing users to agree to them before accessing that page. You can create as many module T&C as you want, and apply them to any pages you want.
To manage your global and module T&C:
- In the Admin Toolbar, click Admin.
- Navigate to Settings > Security > Terms and Conditions.
By default, you'll be on the Global page. From here:
- You likely see the global conditions in the editor that were provided during implementation, but you're free to update these using the various options and styles in the WYSIWYG editor.
TIP: You can insert links, images, and even videos to support your T&C using the associated options in the editor. You can include links to external sites as well as internal pages that support this content, such as giving your users a way to report offenses.
- The checkbox at the top controls whether your global T&C are enabled or disabled. If enabled, users are required to agree to your terms the first time they log in (this is the recommended setting).
Module Terms & Conditions
To manage your module T&C, click the down arrow to the right of the page title and select Module.
NOTE: You can create as many module T&C as you want, and apply them to any pages you want.
Creating and applying a module T&C is a multi-step process. Let's walk through each step now:
Step 1 - Create your T&C
- Click the plus sign to the right of the page title.
- Give your T&C a name, enter an optional description, and then provide the rules, etiquette, etc. you want users to accept before accessing the page.
TIP: You can insert links, images, and even videos to support your T&C using the associated options in the editor. You can include links to external sites as well as internal pages that support this content, such as giving your users a way to report offenses.
- Click Save. Your new T&C is now displayed in the list.
Step 2 - Notify Support to add the Conditions to the page
Currently, only Higher Logic staff can apply module-based T&C to a page. Create a case and let Support know the T&C you want to add, and to which page.
