Configure Question Pool Permissions

Configure Question Pool Permissions

Permissions can be configured for question, topic and sub-topic pools to specify who can edit them or assign questions to them.  Depending on your organization's system configuration, permissions from a parent pool to each of it's child pools may be inherited.  When this is not the case, you will need to explicitly set permissions on any child pools.  For more information, please see the System Administration guide.

Permissions do not cascade down the hierarchy. For example, administrators with permissions for a topic pool will not have those same permissions for any sub-topic pools under it. You must configure permissions at each pool level for other administrators to use them.

To configure question pool permissions

  1. Go to Manage Center > Learning > Exam Utilities > Question Pools Manager.
  2. Select the question, topic or sub-topic pool from the drop-down lists.
  3. Click Permissions button.
  4. Select the users to which you are granting read-only or unrestricted access permissions.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Click Close.
