A Stage-Release Course contains three types of permission tags:
- Global permission tags – these are given the moment someone opts-in or purchases the course, and can be used to trigger an automation AND give access to the “main page” of a course.
- Module permission tags – these are used inside your CRM automation to determine when each module is released to the student.
- Instant Access permission tag – this tag gives instant access to ALL modules simultaneously (tutorial)
If you’re looking for a way to create a Standalone Course, where the entire course content is released at once, please see this tutorial: How to Create A Standalone Course With AccessAlly.

How to Drip Content Using the Stage Released Setup
There are many different ways to drip content on your WordPress site:
- A time-based-release (powered entirely by a CRM automation), so that each module is released sequentially after a certain period of time. The tutorial below uses this setup.
- Release a module after a user completes a quiz from the previous lesson – this is a helpful feature if you want to require your students to receive a passing grade on a lesson or module before allowing them to continue on through the course. Learn how in this tutorial: How to Release A Course Module When A User Submits a Quiz
