Description
At present guests can see anything on a site which does not require user input. But if a guest tries to enter a forum or a chat, for example, they are forced to login as a 'real' user before they can do so.
We would like this facility to be extended to other resources/activities. For example when a guest wants to download a SCORM we would like them to receive a message telling them they must login as a 'real' user before they can do so.
Is there a way that this could be added as an option for all resources/activities?

I think Lesley means "play" a SCORM, not "download" a SCORM.
Here is the issue: There are inconsistencies in the sets of capabilities that the activities provide. Some activities (Quiz, Assignment, Database, Forum) have "View" capabilities that allow you to restrict access totally. If you don't want a Guest to see ANYTHING in these activities – not even a description – you set the View capability to Prevent. Guests who click the acivity icon see a page telling them they need to login to view the activity.
Choice, SCORM, Lesson, Glossary, Survey, Wiki, and Workshop do not have View capabilities. In the case of SCORM, there are no capabilities to control access at any level. A Guest can play a SCORM from start to finish.
