Create competency assignments


Article Summary

Competency assignments allow you to assign competencies (from your existing competency frameworks) to users or groups of users (e.g. audiences, organisations etc.) and manage those assignments. 

Before you create any competency assignments you will first need to ensure you have created some competencies on your site. 

Follow these steps to create competency assignments:

  1. Go to Quick-access menu > Competency assignments
  2. Select the Create assignments button. 
  3. Choose one or more competency to assign and then select the Assign button. 
  4. From the Users to assign dropdown menu select which types of users to add, then select the group or individual users. 
  5. Select Save changes then click the Create assignments button.
  6. You will be presented with a confirmation message, where you can decide whether to activate the new assignments or not. 
  7. Finally, select Yes

Users must have the totara/competency:manage_assignments and moodle/user:viewdetails capabilities to view the Competency assignments page.

When assigning competencies by position or organisation users require the totara/hierarchy:viewposition or totara/hierarchy:vieworganisation respectively.

To assign competencies to audiences users will need either the moodle/cohort:view or moodle/cohort:manage capability. Only system-level audiences can be assigned competencies (not audiences within categories).

C013 - Competencies(1)The Totara Academy has a whole course dedicated to using Competencies in Totara. Here you can learn more on how to use competencies, see best practice, and give it a go yourself.
