Overview

In Opigno Enterprise, you can assign various types of content to specific hierarchy levels to control access and visibility. This ensures that users only see content relevant to their position in your organizational structure.
Content assigned to a hierarchy level is automatically accessible to all users assigned to that level and its sub-levels, creating an efficient content distribution system.

​
Content Types That Support Hierarchy Assignment

Opigno Enterprise allows you to assign hierarchy levels to multiple types of content:

Trainings

Learning paths, courses, and training programs

Training Files

Supplementary materials and resources

Event Calendar

Live sessions, webinars, and scheduled events

Taxonomy Terms

Categories, topics, and classification terms
Hierarchy assignments work across all content types, giving you consistent control over what users can access based on their organizational position.

​
Assigning Trainings to Hierarchy Levels

The most common use case is assigning training programs to specific departments, teams, or organizational units.

dropdown
Choose the hierarchy level where this training should be available.Selection behavior:
  • No selection: Training is available to all learning areas
  • Specific level: Training is restricted to users at that level and below
  • Multiple levels: Some configurations allow selecting multiple levels
When you assign content to a hierarchy level, it automatically becomes available to all sub-levels beneath it. For example, assigning to “Sales Department” makes it available to “Sales Team A” and “Sales Team B” if they’re sub-levels.

​
Assigning Other Content Types

The hierarchy assignment process is consistent across different content types.

​
Training Files

Training files are supplementary resources like PDFs, documents, and reference materials.
  1. Go to Content → Training files
  2. Click Edit on the file you want to assign
  3. Find the Hierarchy Level field
  4. Select the appropriate level from the dropdown
  5. Click Save

​
Event Calendar

Event calendar items include live sessions, webinars, and scheduled learning events.
  1. Go to Content → Event Calendar
  2. Select the event you want to assign and click Edit
  3. Locate the Hierarchy Level field in event settings
  4. Choose the hierarchy level for this event
  5. Save your changes
Events assigned to a hierarchy level will only appear in the calendar view for users at that level or below, helping keep calendars relevant and uncluttered.

​
Taxonomy Terms

Taxonomy terms are categories, tags, and classification systems used to organize content.
  1. Go to Structure → Taxonomy
  2. Select the vocabulary (e.g., “Topics”, “Skills”, “Categories”)
  3. Find the term you want to assign and click Edit
  4. Find the Hierarchy Level field
  5. Select the appropriate organizational level
  6. Save the taxonomy term
Taxonomy terms assigned to hierarchy levels can only be used to categorize content at the same or lower levels. This prevents organizational information leakage across departments.
