Enterprise Portal: Add and Manage Exam-Taker Accounts

Exam-takers need accounts so that they can use Examplify and log in to the exam-taker portal. Institution admins and Department admins can add and manage these accounts.

Note: This article explains how to manage exam-taker accounts from the User Management page. Another way to add and manage exam-taker accounts is by using the course page. See: Enterprise Portal: Add and Manage Exam-Takers for a Course

  3. Enter the exam-taker information.
    Tips:
    • Student ID: Enter a unique ID for each exam-taker. Do not include the following characters: 

      /  \  :  ? * ” < > |

    • Email address: ExamSoft sends an invitation email to help the exam-taker get started and sends various other emails, including exam upload confirmations and exam reminders. In addition, the email address is used to log in to the ExamSoft online portal and must be unique to each exam-taker.

      Note: You might have certain users, such as teaching assistants, who need an exam-taker account and an admin account; in this case, two different email addresses must be used to set up these two accounts.

    • Courses: (Optional) If you want to identify other courses for this user, start typing the name of a course, and then select it from the list. However, we recommend that you enroll exam-takers in courses when creating those courses.
    • Lab User: (Optional) When selected, this user can only use a lab device. Leave this option unchecked to allow the use of a personal device.
    • Non-secure: (Optional) As an accommodation, you can select this option so that any secure exams will be delivered to this exam-taker without the security restrictions.
    • Extra time: (Optional) As an accommodation, you can select this option so that this exam-taker has extra time during all timed assessments. To specify the amount of extra time to add, use the slider tool or text field to select a percentage from 100 - 400.
    • Time zone: Time zone is important so that exam times display in the exam-taker's local time.
  4. Finalize your inputs:
    • If you are adding a new account: Select Create. An invitation will be sent, and the exam-takers will have 30 days to finalize their accounts. Exam-takers must accept the invitation and complete the Examplify registration process in order to be active within the portal and take their exams.
    • If you are editing an existing account: Select Save.
