What are Entitlements?
Entitlements are the assets a learner can access within Skillport. If a learner does not see an asset within his Skillport site (either in the Library or within a search), he is not entitled to it.
To entitle content, use the Catalog Assignment tab on the Users and Groups Management page. See Entitle Content for procedures.
What are Assignments?
Assignments are assets a learner is entitled to, that are placed in a learning plan. If a learner can see an asset within the Skillport Library, he is entitled to it and can save it to the Personal Learning tab of his learning plan.
To assign content, use the Learning Plan Assignment tab on the Users and Groups Management page. See Assign an Asset to a Learning Plan for procedures.
Entitling and Assigning Assets in Skillport
When a Manager, Admin or Company Admin within Skillport is entitled to an asset, he can assign it to himself, and he can assign it to someone in his hierarchical group. When he assigns the asset to another user, he grants that learner access to the content, but the learner will not see the asset in the Library (or within a search) unless the admin specifically entitles it to the learner.
