Set Up HubLMS Membership Groups
Learn best practices for creating membership groups in HubSpot to control access to your HubLMS portal pages based on user types.
- Consider how you want to segment your learners or users into different buckets (e.g., prospects, customers, free tier, paid tier, blue widgets, red widgets).
- Create contact properties, like an "Access Type" property, to categorize users into these buckets.
- Understand that HubLMS provisioning typically includes one primary membership group for portal access.
- Navigate to Content > Memberships in HubSpot.
- Review the criteria for your existing membership groups (e.g., HubLMS Portal Access Beta based on HubLMS Portal Access is 'yes'). Caution: Modifying membership group criteria can significantly impact who can access your portal.
- To control access to specific pages based on enrollment, you can set up a membership group where the criteria are "Contact is associated to HubLMS course with a label 'enrolled'".
- Use the "Request access URL" on a HubLMS Course record (for "Enrolled Access" visibility) to direct users to a signup or payment page where they can qualify for access/enrollment.
- Ensure automation (like workflows) is set up to update contact properties or create associations based on these signup/payment actions, adding users to the appropriate membership groups or enrolling them in courses.
