Mavenlink Assignments API

The Assignments object allows you to view and manage task assignments for named or [unnamed resources](https://mavenlink.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004696493#Unnamed). **Note:** Because [Daily Scheduled Hours](/tag/Daily-Scheduled-Hours-(Story-Allocation-Days)) are a part of Assignments, they can be affected when an assignment changes.

Operations 5

GET /assignments Fetching a list of Assignments #
