looking for is in the site<br>policies page.<br><br>
/admin/settings.php?section=sitepolicies <br><br>Covers several options that
allows you to restrict the level to which user<br>blogs can be viewed on the
site. (restrict to same group, class etc)<br><br>I set ours to the option :
"Users can only see blogs for people who share a <br>course"<br><br>Regards
