Resolution
Assignment Profiles are created by administrators for the purpose of assigning various entities to Users who match the attributes selected. Once an assignment profile is created and propagated, the Assignment Profile Synchronization APM must be scheduled to run. This APM checks Users for matches to assignment profiles and assigns (or un-assigns) the appropriate entities. Therefore, assignment profiles allow ongoing automatic training assignment to new Users and Users whose attributes change.
When creating an assignment profile, the administrator must; (1) specify what domain(s) are affected by this assignment profile; (2) identify the User attributes to select the appropriate group of Users, and (3) specify what entities are to be assigned to those Users.
Administrators have the ability to inactivate an assignment profile, and also have the added option of un-assigning the learning elements assigned through the assignment profile. Inactivated assignment profiles can be re-propagated to become active again.
What Can You Assign?
Assignment Profiles can assign the following entities:
- Libraries
- Coupons
- Curricula
- Items
- Programs
- Recommended Items/Collections/Programs
- User Role
- Group
What is the Best Practice?
You can use a single assignment profile to assign more than one type of entity. It may be better, organizationally, to define only a single entity type to an assignment profile.

Notes |
An assignment profile naming convention suggestion is to include a prefix to indicate that the assignment profile is assigning a curriculum (CURR_), a User role (ROLE_) or a library (LIB_). See samples in table above. Potential prefixes to be used in the naming convention for manually created/assigned assignment profiles:
