Limit test participation to specific candidates on AutoProctor using link distribution, email restrictions, unique invitation links, or platform access controls.
By default, anyone with your test link can take the test. AutoProctor gives you several methods to lock down access so only the candidates you choose can participate.
Use AutoProctor’s built-in Login restrictions to allow only specific email domains or individual email addresses. You configure this in the Access & login section of the test’s Settings.
1
Open the Access & login Section
Go to your Tests page, click Settings next to the test, and choose Access & login from the list of sections.
2
Enter Login Restrictions
In Login restrictions, add the email domains (e.g., @yourschool.edu) or specific email addresses you want to allow, separated by commas.
3
Save
Click Save settings.
Login restrictions limiting the test to one school domain and one guest address
Generate unique per-candidate URLs tied to specific email addresses. Each candidate receives their own link with email verification, so only the intended recipient can use it.
Three email addresses entered on the Generate tab of Unique test URLs
1
Turn On Unique Test URLs
In the Access & login section of the test’s Settings, turn on Unique test URLs and click Save settings.
2
Open the Unique Test URLs Page
Click Generate unique links under the switch.
3
Add email addresses
On the Generate tab, type or paste the candidate email addresses, or click Upload CSV (up to 500 at once).
4
Generate the unique links
Click Generate links. AutoProctor creates a unique link for each email address and lists them on the Links tab.
5
Distribute unique links
On the Links tab, click Copy link next to a candidate, or click Export to download all the links as a CSV file. Send each candidate their unique link individually.
Unique invitation links are available only on the Elite Plan and work with Socratease Quizzes and IFrame Tests. See Payments and Credits for plan details.
If you use Google Forms, you can restrict access at the Google Forms level instead of (or in addition to) AutoProctor restrictions. Candidates can still open the AutoProctor link, but they cannot proceed if Google Forms blocks their access.
1
Open your Google Form settings
In Google Forms, click the Settings gear icon.
2
Restrict to your organization
Enable the option to restrict responses to users in your organization. This limits access to candidates with email addresses under your Google Workspace domain.
