I am working with a small team of power users in an environment where the business owns content publishing and enablement and assgins power users to make it happen. 

When I create a course I can share it with my team via categories. 

When I create a group or learning plan how do I share it with my team? 

you can add the group directly to heir permissions however for LP’s it depends on whether you are assigning these individually to their permissions or whether you are providing access via catalogues/catalogue visibility rules.


@lrnlab Can you tell me more about heir permissions?

There are two of us supporting the same learning programs (courses, learning plans, groups, catalogs, channel content, etc.). We need to be able to edit the learning plans and grous that the other created. I don’t see a way to assign them as a power user. Am I missing it or is this a super admin only thing? 


@dianex.gomez you should be able to assign the Groups under the individual PU profiles > Resources + you need to give them permissions to View & Edit groups. PU can only edit Manual groups and not the automatic ones, however they can see the cut groups if you add them as resources.

 


That is the super admin permission, thanks for the confirmation. 


not sure I follow...are you saying you need to ask your super to add this on your PU profile?


I am saying as a power user I would have to ask a super admin to do this. I am documenting processes and best practices for our power users and some of them work in teams and need edit and visibility to the groups, learning plans, and catalogs they create. After the power user creates them, they will have to submit a request for a super admin to give that visibility to the other power users on their team. 


Correct since the PU cannot assign permissions and resources to other PU’s at the moment.


Hi @lrnlab I have a similar question. If I give PU’s permission to create edit and view, should they then have access to groups they did not create?


Hi @lrnlab I have a similar question. If I give PU’s permission to create edit and view, should they then have access to groups they did not create?

you need to assign the Groups under resources but keep in mind PU’s can only create manual groups, not automatic groups. They can view the users in the automatic groups only.


Power users can add/remove members from automatic groups. They can also change an automatic assignment to manual. They cannot edit/view eligibility criteria. 
As a general rule, I like to create all groups as automatic even if they will initially be managed manually. Unless it is a temporary group. 

Once created you cannot change the type. If you come up with criteria at a later time you will want to switch to an automated group, which means starting over if you used a manual group.


Sorry @dianex.gomez quick correction on the PU powers...(and as a super), although you can “switch” a user from being included automatically to manual, the PU cannot remove the user entirely...if the user was added manually to an automatic group, that user can be removed. The option to ‘switch to manual assignment’ as explained in the KB article, is a way to keep someone who was added by way of the criteria in the group even if they no longer natch the group criteria; like a permanent adherence to the group.


Thanks @lrnlab  for the clarification.
