How do I add a category to a learning content item in an account?

Categories act as containers for learning content items and enable admins to target learning content to specific users. Once a learning item has been created, you can add categories to your learning item.

Notes:
•   Only admins have permission to create categories.
•   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.
