Strict Assignments
This article discusses strict assignments and how to use them.
What is a strict assignment?
Let’s say you have a C++ Learning Path and a Docker Learning path. As an admin, you can leverage strict assignments to provide a specific training path to the correct audience. This feature will limit learners to only the content they are meant to complete rather than giving them the option to pick from the various paths available.
Strict Assignments is on by default but you may want to double check your settings if you plan to leverage this with any upcoming assignments. To review, you can navigate to Admin > Settings > Strict Assignments.
If it's enabled, when a user is added to an assignment they will no longer see the Map Guide and will only see their assigned path available on the corresponding island.
It’s important to note that a user should only be added to one assignment per level when strict assignments is enabled. If assigned to multiple paths on different levels, the user will be enrolled and have access to the lowest level path first. Once complete, the next assigned path will be opened.
Users who are not added to an assignment will see the full path selector dropdown and can move through all the available paths and levels.
