These attributes and actions collect together functionality around groups; assigning users to the various defined child organizational units of a course that represent a sub-sections of users enrolled in that course.

Sections are a specialized type of group that have similar actions and properties to a group, but which are accessed through separate actions.

A user’s enrollment in the parent course restricts access to groups actions and properties. The role permissions are configured for the tool Groups and Sections Management.

{
    "Name": <string>,
    "Code": <string>,
    "Description": { <composite:RichTextInput> }
}
Code

Note that group code values have these limitations:

  • They may not contain these special characters:

    \ : * ? “ ” < > | ‘  # , % &
Description

Note that this property uses the RichTextInput structure type.

Fetch. When you use actions that retrieve Group Data information, the service provides a block like this:

{
    "GroupId": <number:D2LID>,
    "Name": <string>,
    "Code": <string>,
    "Description": { <composite:RichText> },
    "Enrollments": [ <number:D2LID>, ... ]
}
Enrollments

This property contains a list of user IDs for the explicitly enrolled users in the group.

Group.GroupCategoryData

Create. When you use actions that provide Group Category Data information to the service, you should provide a block that looks like this:

{
    "Name": <string>,
    "Description": { <composite:RichTextInput> },
    "EnrollmentStyle": <number:GRPENROLL_T>,
    "EnrollmentQuantity": <number>|null,

    "RestrictedByOrgUnitId": <number:D2LID>|null,
    "DescriptionsVisibleToEnrolees": <boolean>  // Added with LP API v1.42
}
Description

Note that this property uses the RichTextInput structure type.

EnrollmentQuantity

If you provide a non-null value for this property, the service will ignore any values you provide for NumberOfGroups and MaxUsersPerGroup.

NumberOfGroups

If you don’t provide a value for EnrollmentQuantity, then you should provide a non-null value for this property when creating a group category of one of these types:

  • NumberOfGroupsNoEnrollment (0)

  • NumberOfGroupsAutoEnrollment (2)

  • SelfEnrollmentNumberOfGroups (4)

  • PeoplePerNumberOfGroupsSelfEnrollment (5)

MaxUsersPerGroup

If you don’t provide a value for EnrollmentQuantity, then you should provide a non-null value for this property when creating a group category of one of these types:

  • PeoplePerGroupAutoEnrollment (1)

  • PeoplePerGroupSelfEnrollment (3)

  • PeoplePerNumberOfGroupsSelfEnrollment (5)

AllocateAfterExpiry and SelfEnrollmentExpiryDate

You should only set AllocateAfterExpiry to true if a value is provided for SelfEnrollmentExpiryDate. You should only set these values when you create a group category with one of these types:

  • PeoplePerGroupAutoEnrollment (1)

  • PeoplePerGroupSelfEnrollment (3)

  • PeoplePerNumberOfGroupsSelfEnrollment (5)

GroupPrefix

If you specify a GroupPrefix, the back-end service will prepend it to both the GroupName and the GroupCode; if you don’t provide a value, the service will use default prefix values instead.

EnrollmentStyle

If you specify an EnrollmentStyle of SingleUserMemberSpecificGroup (added as of LE v1.10 API), values set for NumberOfGroups and MaxUsersPerGroup will be ignored. This style of group creates a single group per user enrolled in the orgunit.

RestrictedByOrgUnitId

If you specify a RestrictedByOrgUnitId, the orgunit must be the id of a group or section also in the parent orgunit. The group category’s group members are restricted to only members of the group or section specified by the RestrictedByOrgUnitId.

DescriptionsVisibleToEnrolee

If not specified, this property will be set to false by default.

Fetch. When you use actions that retrieve Group Category Data information, the service provides a block like this:

{
    "GroupCategoryId": <number:D2LID>,
    "Name": <string>,
    "Description": { <composite:RichText> },
    "EnrollmentStyle": <number:GRPENROLL_T>,

    "RestrictedByOrgUnitId": <number:D2LID>|null,
    "DescriptionsVisibleToEnrolees": <boolean>  // Added with LP API v1.42
}
EnrollmentQuantity

This property may appear, but is deprecated, and you should use MaxUsersPerGroup as a working value instead.

MaxUsersPerGroup

This property will have a non-null value for groups for group category types:

  • PeoplePerGroupAutoEnrollment (1)

  • PeoplePerGroupSelfEnrollment (3)

  • PeoplePerNumberOfGroupsSelfEnrollment (5)

Groups

This property contains a list of Group IDs for all the groups that belong to this group category.

Update. When you use actions that update existing Group Category Data information, you should provide a block that looks like this:

{
    "Name": <string>,
    "Description": { <composite:RichTextInput> },
    "AutoEnroll": <boolean>,
    "RandomizeEnrollments": <boolean>,
    "DescriptionsVisibleToEnrolees": <boolean> // Added with LP API v1.42
}
Description

Note that this property uses the RichTextInput structure type.

DescriptionsVisibleToEnrolee

If not specified, this property will be set to false by default.

Group.GroupEnrollment
{
    "UserId": <number:D2LID>
}
Group.GroupsJobData
{
    "OrgUnitId": <number:D2LID>,
    "CategoryId": <number:D2LID>,

}
Group.GroupCategoryJobStatus
{
    "Status": <int:GROUPSJOBSTATUS_T>
}

Sections

Section.SectionData

These section data structures comprise the properties held by the individual sections that are descendants of a course offering.

Create, Update. When you use actions that provide section property information to the service, you should provide a block that looks like this:

{
    "Name": <string>,
    "Code": <string>,
    "Description": { <composite:RichTextInput> }
}
Code

Note that section code values have these limitations:

  • They cannot be more than 50 characters in length.

  • They may not contain these special characters:

    \ : * ? “ ” < > | ‘  # , % &

Fetch. When you use actions to fetch the properties of a section, the service provides a block that looks like this:

{
    "SectionId": <number:D2LID>,
    "Name": <string>,
    "Code": <string>,
    "Description": { <composite:RichText> },
    "Enrollments": [ <number:D2LID>, ... ]
}
Enrollments

This property contains a list of user IDs for the explicitly enrolled users enrolled in the section.

Enrolled. When you use actions to fetch the section properties for the sections in which you are enrolled, the service provides a block that looks like this:

{
    "SectionId": <number:D2LID>,
    "Name": <string>,
    "Code:" <string>,
    "Description": null|{ <composite:RichText> }
}
Description

This property may be null if the section settings for the associated course offering require hiding the section’s description.

Section.SectionEnrollment
{
    "UserId": <number:D2LID>
}
Section.SectionSettingsData

These section settings structures comprise the settings for all sections that are descendants of a particular course offering. These notes apply to fields in the section settings structures of all forms:

DescriptionsVisibleToEnrollees

Note that when this property is false, the Descriptions property in the Enrolled form of Section.SectionData will always be null for sections in this course offering.

Name, Description

A name and description for all of the sections in this course offering collectively.

Create. When you use actions to initialize the settings for all sections in a course offering, you should provide a block that looks like this:

{
    "EnrollmentStyle": <number:SECTENROLL_T>,
    "EnrollmentQuantity": <number>,
    "AutoEnroll": <boolean>,
    "RandomizeEnrollments": <boolean>,
    "DescriptionsVisibleToEnrollees": <boolean>  // Added with LP API v1.39
}
AutoEnroll

If true, automatically enroll a user in a section when they get added to the parent org unit; how this happens depends on your enrollment style:

  • For “number of sections” style, new users will get auto-enrolled into one of the sections that exist at the time of that user’s enrollment in the parent org unit.

  • For “people per section style”, new users will get added to the first, not-full section, and new sections will get automatically created to fit new users added to the parent org unit if no partially full sections exist to accommodate them.

EnrollmentStyle

Determines the type of enrollment that will affect how your sections get populated.

EnrollmentQuantity

Determines the number of sections to auto-create upon initialization depending upon the enrollment style you chose:

  • For “number of sections” style, this determines the number of sections to auto-create.

  • For “people per section style”, this determines the number of people to put in a section: starting with the first user, this many users will be counted off, again and again, to auto-create sections until no enrolled users are left to assign from the parent org unit.

Fetch. When you use actions to fetch the settings for all sections in a course offering, the service provides a block that looks like this:

{
    "Name": <string>,
    "Description": { <composite:RichText> },
    "EnrollmentStyle": <number:SECTENROLL_T>,
    "EnrollmentQuantity": <number>,
    "AutoEnroll": <boolean>,
    "RandomizeEnrollments": <boolean>,
    "DescriptionsVisibleToEnrollees": <boolean>  // Added with LP API v1.39
}

Update. When you use actions that update the settings for all sections in a course offering, you should provide a block that looks like this:

{
    "Name": <string>,
    "Description": { <composite:RichTextInput> },
    "AutoEnroll": <boolean>,
    "RandomizeEnrollments": <boolean>,
    "DescriptionsVisibleToEnrollees": <boolean>  // Added with LP API v1.39
}
