✔️ Assigning objects to groups

This feature is available for: paths, programs, online courses, tests, files.

To be give users access to object, you need to assign these objects to them. There is more than one way to do it, but in this article we’re focusing on the most common one: assigning objects to groups. This method helps you save precious time compared to assigning objects to single users. 

For each assignment, you can decide if the object will be mandatory, when it will be available (“Time limitations” option) and what notifications users in the assigned group will receive. 

Assign an object to a group

1. Go to object edition screen, for example an online course.
2. Select the “Assignments to groups” tab.
3. Click “Add” in the top right corner. 
4. Select the groups you want to assign this object to and click “Next”.
5. Choose if the object is mandatory. If you set an object as mandatory, it will be shown with the “Mandatory” badge in the “Learning materials” section. You can configure this option for each group separately. 
6. In the third step, you can decide when the object should be available (“Time limitations” option) and change notification settings. If you don’t set any start date, the users will be able to complete the object immediately. And if you set the end date, the users won’t be able to complete the object when this date passes. 

Remove assignment to a group

1. Go to object edition screen, for example an online course.
2. Select the “Assignments to groups” tab. 
3. Select the groups to which the object should no longer be assigned.
4. Click “Remove” on the top bar and confirm.
