Security - Managers & Global Info

The controls for securing access to your assessment is broken down into five areas which will appear in the lower right panel when you use the link shown, as above, in the top right panel. These include:

  • Global Info - this allows you to edit the assessment owner's e-mail address, and if you are the assessment owner, define assessment managers with varying priviliges to assist you in the management of your assessment.

  • Time Limits - this allows you to specify limits as to when your assessment may be accessed. You may also specify a limit on the amount of time that participants are given to complete an assessment.

  • Attempt Limits - this allows you to limit the number of times that an assessment may be viewed or the number of times participants are permitted to submit responses to your assessment.

  • Authorized Participants - this allows you to specify a list of participant id's and names. Only participants on this list are permitted to access the assessment.

  • Authorized Workstations - this allows you to specify a list of internet addresses representing workstations permitted to access the assessment.

These features combined allow you to specify who may access an assessment, from where and at what time. For example, you could restrict access to a particular computer laboratory at a particular time. With a proctor checking id's at the door, you enjoy the same level of security as a paper-based test.

Test Pilot's security features represent the most comprehensive set of security features for online assessment in the industry.


Global Info

Owner's E-Mail Address - enter an e-mail address to be used as a return address for any automatically generated e-mail messages for this assessment. E-mailing functions require special configuration and security permissions that may not be available at all installations.

Managers - you may specify a set of assessment managers to assist you. They may have varying levels of access as specified in this list. In order for the managers to log in, they must follow the same procedure as the owner except using the unique id and password entered in this list. The following levels of manager security are available:

  • enabled - if this is not checked, the manager account is inactive and may not be used.

  • edit test and reports - this permits the manager to edit an assessment and define custom reports. Managers may not edit the manager list. Only the assessment owner is permitted to do so.

  • erase records - this permits the manager to delete recorded participant submissions

  • score submissions - this permits the manager to manually score/rescore sumbissions

  • make exceptions - this permits the manager to make special exceptions to security restrictions

Question Bank Editors (v4.1.3 and later) - you may specify a set of managers permitted to edit assessment questions. They must also appear in the manager list with edit permission enabled

On Windows servers running IIS, id's must be valid login accounts and the password column is not shown since the user's Windows password will be used. This means that all assessment managers must have a login account on Windows servers when running Test Pilot under IIS.


Help is Available!

    Please note that, at any time while you are editing an assessment, you can click upon the titles of the fields listed for your entries. If you do so, a pop-up window with an explanation of the items use and features will be shown.

Saving your Changes - Don't Forget to Update

    It should be noted that on the editing panels, you will see one or more Update buttons. Whenever you adjust a setting or make changes to any item, you must click an update button to record the changes. You may make multiple changes and then click Update, but if you fail to click the update button, your changes may not be recorded.

The mode popup menu allows you to adjust access to Test Pilot features and trim the detail of the automatically provided assistance for authoring.

  • for beginners - several of Test Pilot's more complicated options are hidden or preset to default values and pop-up assistance windows automatically appear to aid the user in the assessment authoring process.

  • with assistance - most of Test Pilot's features are shown as controls which may be adjusted. Pop-up help windows must be manually requested for viewing by clicking upon any feature title.

  • for experts - all of Test Pilot's features are shown as controls which may be adjusted. Help messages are minimized to maximize the number of controls that can be shown in a limited area. Pop-up help windows may still be manually requested for viewing by clicking upon any feature title.
