# Next, head over to https://www.reddit.com/r/CPAExam and make a post asking for approval and provide your created account username. As long as you make a request and don't appear to be a spam bot, approval will be granted.
# You can check whether you are approved or not by going to the special pages tab on the left side, and choosing "user rights." Enter your username. This will tell you what groups you are a part of. If one of those groups are "verifiedusers", then you are approved and can begin editing.

Any material that is originally created by someone and not intended for mass consumption cannot be posted. An example would be an instructional video on a study provider's website, where a fee is required for viewing.
In my experience, much of the study material provided by study providers is copied from publicly available sources, such as IRS Publications, AICPA Publications, etc. These are free to be posted.
