Learning Assignment API

The Learning Assignment API provides the ability to create standard learning assignments in Cornerstone Learning. It enables you to build integrations where the goal is to assign training to your learners. Standard learning assignments process and assign training once. An ideal use case for this API is to assign training to users or organizational units based on event triggers that were previously performed manually, or not performed at all due to technical restrictions.

The Learning Assignment API includes the following services:

  • Create Standard Assignment - Use this endpoint to create a standard learning assignment in Cornerstone. You can add training to users' transcripts in Approved, Assigned, and Registered status using this API.
  • Get Assignment - Once you submit a learning assignment, you can check the status of your assignment using this endpoint.
  • Get Remaining Count - Use this endpoint to identify the count of remaining user assignments per day for the date provided. This helps manage throttling limits.
  • Search Assignments - Use this endpoint to search for and retrieve details on an assignment created via the API or the Learning Assignment Tool.
PERMISSION NAME PERMISSION DESCRIPTION CATEGORY
Assignment Tool - Bypass User Payment Grants ability to bypass user payment when creating a Learning Assignment.

This permission is dependent on the Assignment Tool - Standard, Assignment Tool - Standard and Dynamic, and Assignment Tool - Standard and Dynamic - Recurrence permissions. This permission cannot be constrained. This is an administrator permission. Learning - Administration
Assignment Tool - Email Settings - View Grants ability to view and select email settings when creating a Learning Assignment. This includes the ability to select Training Specific Emails, Custom Emails, or No Emails but does not grant ability to manage the actual Email Settings (cannot configure Custom Emails or Ad-Hoc Email and cannot enable/disable Assign Training and Register Training email triggers when Training Specific Emails is selected). This permission is dependent on the Assignment Tool - Standard, Assignment Tool - Standard and Dynamic, and Assignment Tool - Standard and Dynamic - Recurrence permissions. This permission can be constrained by OU, User, User Self and Subordinates, and User's OU. If this permission is constrained, then only users within the constraints will receive the emails.
