# Create a New Assessment

`POST /api/v2/content/assessments`

This endpoint creates a new assessment in the system and optionally creates visibility group relationships. <br><br>For Global Admin Tool Organizations, if the `X-Degreed-Organization-Code` header is included, the endpoint will create content for the Tenant Organization related to the header value as long as the organization is a member of the Global Admin Tool Organization. <br><br>**Note:** When visibility groups are set for content, the groups must either be (a) all of privacy level `Administrative` or (b) all of a non- `Administrative` privacy level. Non- `Administrative` privacy levels include `Open`, `Closed` and `Private`. Content in `Administrative` groups is only visible to users in the `Administrative` groups. If the content is not associated with any Administrative groups, the content is visible to all users in the organization. A group's privacy level can be retrieved from the [Get a Specific Group]() endpoint.<h3>Required Scope</h3>`content:write`
