[ENHANCEMENT] Customize products and playlists available per site basis

[naveen8408]

Once we deploy the custom learning solution to the tenant is it possible to customize which products and playlists can appear for each site. The reason i'm asking is we have different agencies within our tenant who have different licenses within Office365 and we want to make sure they can only see products they have license to.

The guidance I'm personally providing to solve this issue is to add a second custom content pack for each additional agency you need to support. Normally you would need to create the contents of said custom content pack but I'm going to suggest you just point again at the same CDN endpoint that the default content uses that way you can make separate customizations to it. Then do one of two things, either create a separate site collection to act as a learning portal for each of those agencies or embed the web part wherever needed for those agencies and then pin the web part to the agencies content pack. For more details on custom content packs you can see the description in this video (it's towards the end). In that I'm showing how to make your own, but you can also just use the base url of https://pnp.github.io/custom-learning-office-365/learningpathways/

But can agencies who have site owner or admin access on the site will have access to all content packs and can update content pack from webpart? If i create a separate learning portal for each of those agencies i'll be able to restrict availability of content packs within webpart?

Yes there is no security around content packs... you will have to have a level of trust with an "admin" for each agency to have access to the main learning pathways web site to customize their content set.

okay it would be great if we can audience target product tiles and playlists so that we can restrict them by ad groups.

I've marked it an enhancement request.
