    Test authorizations

  1. Introduction

    Authorization regulates user access to tests. You can establish criteria, such as mandatory payments or specific qualifications, for users to gain authorization. Those without authorization for a test that requires it can't see it in their assignment list.

    To learn more on how to restrict test access with authorization, refer to this help page.
    For more information on how to manage test authorizations for each test separately, refer to the Tests/Manage tests/Test administration/Authorizations help page.
