Choose whether this is a generic Access Code or one for an individual/family. "Individual/Family" is recommended when you wish to limit how many times this code can be used. *Suggested Article*: [Limit Usage for Access Codes for Classes](docId\:t2_VsJdodwxvA9zwqtEJj)

:::hint{type="info"}
- **Generic** — given to everyone with no usage limit; typically, one code is given to multiple people.
- **Individual/Family** — given to one specific individual/family with a set number of tickets they can purchase (e.g. allotted to purchase 4 tickets and no more).
