As an admin, you can create, view, and manage categories in your account. Categories can be added to learning content and to groups.
Notes:
• All admin roles inherently have permission to create and manage categories.
• The author role does not inherently have permission to create and manage categories, but the permission to do so can be assigned to authors in the Roles and Permissions page.
• Categories are not inherited by learning content in subaccounts.
• When a category is assigned to a group, all the learning items associated with that category will be visible to group members in the Learning Library.
• If a user is individually assigned to a categorized learning item but the user is not in a group assigned to that category, the user will see the learning item in the All Others category of the Learning Library.
