To use Recognitions for your courses, the Recognition Issuance feature access must first be enabled for your tenant. Click here to learn how to toggle the feature on.

Once the feature access is enabled, you’ll then be able to add Recognition Types to your tenant in Console. To do so, you will need to be an admin or user with a custom role that has the permissions Create:Recognition_Types, Read:Recognition_Types, Update:Recognition_Types, and Delete:Recognition_Types.
