Assignee Mode

An Assignee Mode describes the method by which an Assignment's assignees are determined.

The values of this enum are of type string.

Values

ValueDescription
allAll students of the class are assignees.
individualsSpecified students in the class are assignees.
groupsAssigned to groups of students, among which it is shared.
noneAssigned to no one in the class. Only used by Canvas and Schoology. This value is read Only and cannot be set through the API.
sectionsAssigned to specific sections in class. Only Canvas is supported.

Assignee Mode none means that an assignment has been shared with a class but it not assigned to anyone in the class. This happens in Canvas and Schoology because assignments exist at the "course" level but Edlink syncs "sections" as Classes by default. It is a read only scenario, assignee mode cannot be set to none through the API.
