Scenario:
A manager can view a course because they have permission to access the course's category and are part of the Unit or Above Unit to which the course is assigned.
Question:
Can this manager assign the course to users who belong to a different Unit or Above Unit, where the manager holds a job role with the "Assign Training" permission?
Answer:
Yes, this is the expected behavior.
Explanation:
When a user is granted the Assign Training permission, they are allowed to assign any course they can access—based on:
- Course Category permissions, and
- The “Training Assignment Settings” Academy setting
—to any users they can access, based on their organizational structure.
It is important to note that the learners themselves do not need to have access to the category of the course in order to be assigned to it.
This configuration enables greater flexibility and ensures that training can be distributed effectively across different areas of the organization, provided the assigning user has both visibility of the course and access to the intended audience.
