Perform local authorization

Local authorization by a proctor is performed at the physical computer workstation of the student that requires the authorization.

Proctor authorization is used for proctored exams with or without Proctored Browser Mode.

A proctor is able to locally authorize the following permissions:

Authorize a student to launch, re-enter, or submit (or all of these actions) their attempt at a proctored exam.
Authorize a student to launch an activity that they're blocked from (Example — if a student prematurely exits Proctored Browser Mode).

Proctors enter their proctor credentials on the Proctor Authorization Request page to perform local authorization.

Perform local authorization

To locally authorize a student:

You'll be asked by a student to come to their computer workstation and enter your proctor credentials on the Proctor Authorization Request page. Enter your Möbius login and password.
NOTE: A student can be navigated to the Proctor Authorization Request page by several possible scenarios:
- The student clicked Request Authorization on the launch page of their proctored exam (either to launch or re-enter the activity) which has been configured to require proctor authorization to launch and re-enter the attempt.
- The student clicked Submit Assignment to submit their proctored exam which has been configured to require proctor authorization to submit the attempt for grading.
- The student clicked Request Exception to request a bypass of requirements in order to launch their attempt at the blocked activity (Example — the student may have exhausted all of their available allowed attempts at an activity).
- The student prematurely exited Proctored Browser Mode and clicked Start to resume their attempt.
A student may be attempting a proctored exam that requires authorization for activity launch, re-entry, and submission. When you authorize their launch or re-entry, you can then choose to pre-authorize their attempt submission by selecting the Pre-authorize grading of the assignment as well before continuing to step 2.
Click Authorize.
The student is then permitted to continue with their activity.
