  • The Reassign Assessment API provides an endpoint to reassign an assessment instance to a different user.

    The Reassign Assessment API runs in the sn_smart_asmt namespace. This API is offered by default with the base system.

    Use this API to transfer assessment ownership when you need to change which user is responsible for completing an in-progress assessment. This is useful when assessments are initially assigned incorrectly, when an employee changes roles, or when you need to delegate assessment completion to a more appropriate team member.

    Common use cases

    • Transferring assessment responsibility when an employee changes roles or leaves the organization
    • Correcting an incorrectly assigned assessment
    • Delegating assessment completion to a more appropriate team member

    Requirements

    The Reassign Assessment API requires the following roles to access it:
    • Users with the sn_smart_asmt.actor role who have been assigned the assessment (only the primary owner)
    • Assessment requestors with the sn_smart_asmt.assessment_reader role
    • Users with the sn_smart_asmt.assessment_admin role

    Important constraints

    • The assessment must be in the Open state to be reassigned. Assessments in other states can't be reassigned using this endpoint.
    • The requesting user must have write access to the assessment's persona assignment record to perform the reassignment.
    • An assessment can't be reassigned to the user it's currently assigned to.
