Scenario
A manager can access a course because they have permission to the course category and belong to the unit or above unit where the course is assigned.
Question
Can this manager assign the course to users in a different unit or above unit if they have a job role with the Assign Training permission?
Answer
Yes. This is expected behavior.
Explanation
The Assign Training permission allows a user to assign any course they can access to users within their scope of visibility.
Course access is determined by:
- Course Category permissions
- The Training Assignment Settings academy configuration
User access is determined by the organizational structure.
Learners do not need access to the course category to receive an assignment.
This setup enables flexible training distribution across the organization. As long as the assigning user has visibility of the course and access to the target audience, they can assign the training across units.
