# What is Restricted View for Users?

**In this article:**
* Overview
* What the user sees
* How to enable Restricted View
* Things to keep in mind
* FAQs
* Who can do this

## Overview

Restricted View lets you send a user straight into a single piece of assigned learning, with nothing else around it. When someone opens a restricted-view link, they land directly on that one learning item — there's no sidebar, navigation, notifications or account menu, and they can't move to any other part of SuperPath.

It's designed for embedding or linking one specific learning from outside SuperPath — for example, surfacing a single required course inside another system — so the user can focus on that content and nothing more.

Restricted View is part of SuperPath's **Auto Login** feature, so it's enabled alongside Auto Login under **Settings → Security**.

> **Note:** Restricted View is different from a **Restricted user** (a role you assign when adding someone to SuperPath). A Restricted user is a person who only ever sees their assigned learning; Restricted View is a way to open one specific learning item in a locked, distraction-free session. See *Using Restricted Users in SuperPath* for the role.

## What the user sees

In a restricted view, the experience is deliberately stripped back:

* The learning item opens directly, with no sidebar or navigation menu.
* Notifications and the account menu are hidden.
* A message reads: *"You are in a restricted view. If you would like to access your full account please sign in."*
* The session is locked to that one learning — trying to navigate elsewhere signs the user out.

## How to enable Restricted View

1. Go to **Settings → Security**.
2. In the **Auto Login** section, switch on **Enable auto login for your users**. (Auto Login is available on paid plans and requires some developer setup to generate the links.)
3. Switch on **Enable restricted view for users**.
4. Click **Save**.

## Things to keep in mind

* Restricted View sits under Auto Login — the toggle only appears once Auto Login is enabled.
* Auto Login and Restricted View **only work for users who sign in with a password or magic link**. They aren't supported for SSO/SAML sign-ins.
* Generating restricted-view links is part of an Auto Login integration and requires some developer work; see the Auto Login developer documentation.

## FAQs

**Is Restricted View the same as making someone a Restricted user?**
No. A **Restricted user** is a role — that person only ever sees their assigned learning when they log in. **Restricted View** is a locked, single-learning session opened via an Auto Login link, and can apply to any user Auto Login supports.

**Why don't I see the Restricted View toggle?**
It only appears once **Auto Login** is enabled, and Auto Login itself is available on paid plans.

**Does it work with SSO?**
No. Restricted View works only for users who sign in with a password or magic link.

## Who can do this

**Owners** and **Admins** can enable Restricted View — the whole **Settings** area is restricted to those two roles. **Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users cannot open Settings and so cannot change this. Setting up the links themselves is part of an Auto Login integration and is typically handled by a developer.
