When you create a new resource, you are asked to review the default access setting. The default setting on Curriki is Public, but if you build up a folder with a different access setting, your resource will by default inherit that same setting.  In either case, you may choose to update it as needed.

In addition to the access setting, it's also very important to remember where you are creating the resource.  When you create a resource on Curriki, there are several ways to do so. If you are in My Curriki and click "Add a Resource" or "Add a Collection", or if you click "Add a Resource" from the Global Left Nav, that resource will be automatically created in your My Curriki Contributions tab.  When you create resources this way and set the access privileges to Private, only you will be able to view and edit the resource.

For groups, there is an alternate method that allows group content to be shared with all group members no matter what Access Privilege has been set. If you are contributing a resource for a group, be sure to first go into the group, then add your resources by Building Up one of the group collections. This way, the resource will appear both in your own My Curriki Contributions listing as well as in the Group's Curriculum listing, and your fellow teachers will have access to view and edit it no matter what access setting you choose.

The table below takes another look at the three Access Privilege settings available and how they are applied when creating a resource as an individual rather than as a group.
