This feature enables institution members (learners who assigned as MEMBER) to get discounted or free access to courses that are otherwise paid for non-members.

To learn how to manage or automatically assign institution membership to your learners, see Institution Memberships

Example Scenario

University of Learning wants to offer an AI for Beginners course for $100 to the public, but wants to offer it for $20 (or Free) to its enrolled students and faculty members.

When logged-in institution members view the course landing page, they will automatically see the discounted rate or free option, while general public visitors see the $100 price tag.
