- Select the Add group override button to the right of the dropdown menu. This should redirect you to a list of override options.
- Select the box to the right of Override group to open a drop-down menu, then select the group to whom you wish to grant the override. Alternatively, enter the group's name in the box.
- From here, you can change settings for the specified group, including when to Open and Close the quiz, the Time limit, and Attempts allowed.
Note: These settings will only affect the selected group. - Finally, select Save to finish, or Save and enter another override to add an override(s) for another group.
Note:
You can only change these settings for one group at a time.
