Assigning users to learners via the API

This series of guides, will provide information on how to build a data integration with a 3rd party system, using the OneFile API:

  1. Initial data download using API
  2. Creating and managing users via the API
  3. Assigning users to learners via the API
  4. Assigning Framework Templates, Standards and Units via the API

To change the Default Assessor, or the Default Employer, call the POST /api/v2.1/User/{id} endpoint.

Other users can be assigned to learners by calling the POST /api/v2.1/User/{id}/Assign endpoint.

The level property is used to specify how the user is to be assigned to the learner.
