AssignQualification

Description

The AssignQualification operation gives a Worker a Qualification. AssignQualification does not require that the Worker submit a Qualification request. It gives the Qualification directly to the Worker.

You can assign a Qualification to any Worker who has submitted one of your HITs in the past.

You can only assign a Qualification of a Qualification type that you created (using the CreateQualificationType operation).

Tip

	Tip
`AssignQualification` does not affect any pending Qualification requests for the Qualification by the Worker. If you assign a Qualification to a Worker, then later grant a Qualification request made by the Worker, the granting of the request may modify the Qualification score. To resolve a pending Qualification request without affecting the Qualification the Worker already has, reject the request with the RejectQualificationRequest operation.
