To ease the transition into Digication Kora, this article outlines some essential administrative tasks. It also points to important resources for students, faculty members, and administrators.

Access to Digication Kora

• Per-user override allows admins to enable Kora for individual accounts and determines their ability to create Kora courses. (Please see “Enable or disable for individual users,” later in this article.)
• Users can access Kora courses if they are enrolled as students or faculty members in such courses.
• Administrators can facilitate access to Kora courses through LMS Integration(LTI 1.3). (Please see “Setting up LMS integration (LTI 1.3) for Kora access” later in this article.)
