Tutor LMS
Connect Tutor LMS course enrollment to Jetonomy spaces - students get a dedicated discussion area automatically when they enroll, and lose access when they cancel or are removed.
PRO - This feature requires Jetonomy Pro.
Tutor LMS works exactly like the other LMS integrations. The course picker, the Sync Members button, and the Auto-Create card are shown in the LearnDash guide, which is the lead LMS reference for this section.
What You Will Learn
- How to gate a Jetonomy space by Tutor LMS course enrollment
- How to auto-create spaces when new courses are published
- How to sync existing students into a space
- What happens when a student un-enrolls or cancels
How Detection Works
Jetonomy Pro detects Tutor LMS automatically when both plugins are active. A Tutor Course option appears in the Access Rules rule type dropdown - no setup needed.
Linking a Course to a Space
- Go to Jetonomy → Spaces and open (or create) the discussion space for your course.
- Open the Access Rules tab.
- Select Tutor Course from the rule type dropdown.
- Start typing your course name - a searchable dropdown appears showing all published Tutor courses (see the course picker screenshot).
- Select the course, set Grants to Participate and Space Role to Member.
- Click Add Rule.
The rule appears in the table showing the course name (not an ID), with a Sync Members button and Delete button. For what the Grants and Space Role fields mean, see Grants and Space Role.
Syncing Existing Students
If students are already enrolled in the course before the rule was created, click the Sync Members button next to the rule. This pulls in all currently enrolled students and adds them to the space. A toast notification shows how many were synced.
New enrollments and cancellations are handled automatically after the rule is created - no further action needed.
Auto-Create Spaces for New Courses
Instead of manually creating a space for each course:
- Go to Jetonomy → Settings → Integrations.
- Under Auto-Create Spaces for Courses, enable the Tutor LMS toggle.
- Choose the default space type (Q&A, Forum, or Feed).
- Click Save Settings.
Now when you publish a new course in Tutor, a private discussion space is automatically created with:
- The course title as the space name
- A membership access rule linking the course to the space
- The course author assigned as space admin
Enrollment and Un-enrollment Events
| Tutor LMS Event | Jetonomy Action |
|---|---|
| Student enrolls in course | Added to linked space as Member |
| Student completes course | Access retained |
| Student enrollment cancelled | Removed from linked space |
| Student enrollment deleted | Removed from linked space |
Content (posts and replies) created by the student remains in the space - only access is revoked.
Typical Setup
- One Private space per paid course, gated to enrollment
- One Public space per free course for open discussion
- One Public space for general Q&A open to all students
Troubleshooting
Tutor Course does not appear in the rule type dropdown - Confirm Jetonomy Pro and Tutor LMS are both active. Check Jetonomy → Settings → Integrations to see the Tutor LMS status.
Students still have access after cancellation - Confirm the cancellation uses Tutor's standard enrollment management. Set the space to Private to fully restrict access.
Sync Members shows 0 synced - The students may already be space members, or no users are enrolled in the selected course.
