Roles on an exam or a folder

When you share an exam or a folder with a colleague, you give them a role. Your organization has four default roles:

Full Access: all permissions, including sharing, moving, and deleting. The person who creates an exam has this role on it.
Editor: edits the subject and settings, manages sessions and participants, proctors, grades, assigns graders, and views results. Cannot share, move, or delete the exam.
Viewer: views the exam and its results, follows participants live, and reviews proctoring recordings, without changing anything.
Proctor: follows participants during the exam and answers the chat, with no access to the subject, grades, or recordings.

Your organization’s administrators can customize these roles. See Share exams with colleagues
