# How to Assign a Pathway to Everyone at Once

# How to Assign a Pathway to Everyone at Once

* Who can do this

## Overview
When you want every person in your organisation to complete the same Pathway, you don't have to add them one by one. SuperPath assigns learning to **people** and **Teams**, and assigning to a Team hands the Pathway to every member of that Team in a single action. To reach everyone, assign to a Team that contains all your people — most organisations use a Dynamic Team whose criteria match every learner (see the Dynamic Teams article). There is no separate "assign to everyone" button; the Team is what represents everyone.

## How to assign a Pathway to everyone
1. Go to **Pathways**.
2. Find the published Pathway you want to assign. The **Assign** icon is only available once a Pathway is **Published** — if it's still a draft, publish it first.
3. Click the **Assign** icon in the Pathway's row actions to open the **Assign to people & Teams** dialog.
4. In the search box, type the name of the Team that represents everyone (for example an all-staff Dynamic Team) and select it. Selected entries show a **Team** badge so you can tell people and Teams apart.
5. Choose **Assign now** to assign immediately, or **Schedule later** to set a future date (and, optionally, a recurring schedule).
6. Optionally set a **Start date** and **Due date**, and use **Notify people** to email everyone about their new Pathway (you can include a custom message).
7. Click **Assign**.

> **Tip:** If you don't yet have a Team that includes everyone, create a Dynamic Team first with criteria that match all your learners, then assign the Pathway to that Team. New joiners who meet the criteria are picked up for future assignments automatically.

> **Note:** Use **Exclude users or teams** (under **Advanced**) if you want to assign to everyone except a specific person or Team.

## Things to keep in mind
* You can only assign a Pathway once it is **Published** — the **Assign** icon is disabled on drafts.
* Assigning to a Team expands to that Team's current members at the moment you assign. For a static Team, people added later won't be assigned retrospectively; a Dynamic Team keeps its membership up to date and picks up new matching learners for future assignments.
* Only **active** people are assigned — disabled accounts in the Team are skipped.
* **For people who already have this learning** controls what happens on a repeat assignment. **Assign only if completed (default)** gives it again to anyone who finished it before and leaves anyone still in progress alone, **Always assign** gives everyone a fresh copy, and **Never assign** skips anyone who has had it. Someone who has never had the Pathway is always assigned it, whichever option you pick.
* Very large assignments are processed in the background, so it can take a little while for every learner's Pathway to appear.

## FAQs
**Is there a single "assign to everyone" button?**
No. SuperPath assigns to people and Teams, so "everyone" is represented by a Team that contains all your people — usually a Dynamic Team matching every learner. Assign the Pathway to that Team and every member receives it.

**Will people who join later get the Pathway automatically?**
If you assigned to a Dynamic Team, new learners who meet the Team's criteria are picked up for future assignments. A one-off assignment to a static Team only covers the people who were members at the time you assigned.

**Can I assign to everyone except a few people?**
Yes. Open **Advanced** and use **Exclude users or teams** to leave specific people or Teams out of the assignment.

**Do I have to notify everyone?**
No. The **Notify people** toggle controls whether assignees are emailed. Leave it off to assign quietly, or turn it on and add a custom message.

## Who can do this
**Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers**, **Content Managers** and **Instructors** can assign Pathways from the Pathways library. **People Managers**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users have read-only access to Pathways and cannot assign them.
