Administrators and group admins can assign courses, paths and programs to users in multiple ways by enrolling them to the content of choice.
What does assigning content mean?
Assigning content to users means enrolling them in that specific course or program. This gives them access to taking the course or program, with the expectation of them to complete it. You can set a due date for the user to complete the assigned content.
When you assign content to a user, they will get an email notification letting them know that they have been assigned the content in question. In this email they will receive a link which will take them to the Sana homepage, and they will be able to start progressing with the course or program they have been assigned.
Before assignment
To enable assignment, the course need to be published and either visible in manage or
visible everywhere.
Visible in Manage: This setting makes the content visible only to administrators and group administrators within Manage > Content, and allows admins to assign the content to specific groups or users without making it accessible to all learners.
Visible Everywhere: This setting makes the content accessible to all users across the platform and allows for both assignment and self-start.

Assigning users or groups to content
The easiest way to assign content to specific users or groups is through the Course Overview. This section also provides insights into total assignments, self-starts (if the course is set to "Visible Everywhere"), and overall progress.
Go to Manage > Content > The course or path you want to assign.
Choose Add learners > Users/Groups.
Select the user/group you want to assign, add a Due date if needed > Choose Assign
