What is Easy Access to Channels

Who can use this feature?

⚙️ Easy Access is an organization setting that an Atobi Customer Support Person must enable.

👩‍🔧 Members with Channel Studio permissions can enable Easy Access on a channel.

What is Easy Access?

By default, everything you publish in Atobi is private to the audiences you build. However, you might want to share some articles with external partners who are not using Atobi or make it easy for some of your employees to access the articles. The purpose is that they don't already need an account for Atobi. Use Easy Access to make channels more public for people to access.

Enabling Easy Access for a channel allows anyone with the URL to access it. Visitors can view the channel's content and will be asked to provide a username or email.

How to enable Easy Access?

Navigate to Channel Studio
Create a new channel or edit one of your existing channels.
Go through the steps of creating/editing a channel until you reach the step about Easy Access.
Click the toggle to Enable easy access.
Click review and save.

Now, you can share direct links to an easy-access channel or to articles published in an easy-access channel.

Navigate to the specific channel or published article you wish to share with an external partner.
Click the browser's toolbar and copy the URL.
Share the URL through an email or similar.

Now, other people outside your organization can access the channel or article.

If you share the direct link, people will be prompted to create a new user by giving their username or email.

If you export the article as a SCORM article, people will be auto-created.

How to level up?

You can combine Easy Access with the Atobi SCORM export feature. This will allow you to export an article as a SCORM file and share it with external partners who use a SCORM compliant LMS tool.
