Groups are an easy way to recommend content to a specific set of learners. Child groups are a nested form of groups, or groups within groups, and can help admins by making bulk user management a seamless experience.
Adding child groups on LinkedIn Learning allows admins to simplify recommendations, understand Learning reports, and assign sub admins. (See Related tasks and Learn more sections below.)
Important to know
Learning reports on groups include activity only from the direct members of that parent group. Learner activity from child groups won’t be included in the parent group reports.
Please review below the main features of child groups.
-
Replicating your org structure in Learning: As an admin, you can create child groups with parent groups that reflect your organization’s structure.
-
Assigning sub admins: Sub admins you select for parent groups are provided uniform permissions for the child groups of that parent group.
-
Recommending content: As an admin, when you recommend content to a parent group, all the nested groups with that group will receive the recommended content.
