User roles

Inspera Assessment support the following user roles.

  • Administrator: Has access to the user administration tool from the cogwheel. Can create users and set role and privileges. 
  • Planner: Has access to Deliver, Monitor, and Grade. Can create tests and invite contributors. A planner needs to be a planner on a test to be able to perform planner-actions.
    A planner that creates a test is automatically a contributor on the test. A planner can also be invited by another planner, and thus a test can have more than one planner.
  • Proctoring Scheduler: This sub-role of the 'Planner' role is available only to customers with at least one proctoring type (Inspera Recorded, Record & Review, or Live Proctoring) enabled on their tenancy.

    The Proctoring Scheduler has exclusive permission to activate a proctored test.

  • Template administrator: Has access to Deliver, Monitor and grade. Can create, edit and share templates within their organisational unit.
  • Chief invigilator: Has access to the tools Deliver and Monitor. Needs to be Chief invigilator on a test to be able to monitor a test in the Deliver or Monitor tool.
  • Author: Has access to the Author tool. Can create question and question sets, but needs to be a contributor on a test to author question set for a test.
  • Invigilator: Has access to the Deliver and Monitor tool. Needs to be a contributor on a test to invigilate a test.
  • Grader: Has access to the Grader tool. Needs to be a contributor on a test to grade a test.
  • Reporter: Has access to the Report tool. Needs to be a contributor on a test to view a report.

See the full description of all the user roles here.

Contributors

  • All users, with the different user roles, need to be invited as a contributor on a test to be able to perform actions on a test.
  • The only exception is an Author who can author questions and question sets without being a contributor and a User with extended access (see below).

Extended access

  • A user with extended access automatically gets the Planner role. 
  • In combination the Planner role and extended access allows the user to perform all the Planner actions without being a contributor on a test. 
  • A user with extended access has access to all content, thus only a few users should be granted this access. 
  • To be able to grant another User with extended access the User Administrator also needs extended access.
