  5. Select your Membership Control setting:

    • Limit to official course members or to those I add manually (recommended) - add members manually or through automatic roster updates from the registration system to restrict enrollment
    • Allow any OWL user to join the site

    Note: If the site is set to "Display in Site Browser" (above) AND the option "Allow any OWL user to join the site" is selected, anyone in the system may search for and join your site.
