How to allow guest to have access to Quiz ?

I created a quiz on the home page of moodle. Changed the permission and granted access to Guest. But when I try to access it as a guest, it displays "Guest can not access".

I also tried it by putting the quiz in a course and guest have been granted access to the course. But still the same problem.

You have to override the guest role permissons at the quiz or course level.

Allow guests to Preview quizzes.

They will still see an error message when they click on the quiz, but they can click the Preview tab to view it.

So that means, unregistered user can not take the test. At max, they can view it, is it like that??

Hi -yes it is like that - they can Preview it but their scores don't get recorded in Moodle's gradebook.

Hi Mary,

Is there a trick to this??  I gave the Guest role permission to preview quizzes but still when accessing the course the quizzes don't show.  Is there something else I need for the Guest role itself?

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Have a look at the documentation on workarounds for allowing guests to see a quiz.

Hi German,

Did that before posting as well as checked other documentation regarding the Guest role too.

(Edited post) It seems the guests previewing quizzes is now out of date  - I am going to change the documentation accordingly.

What exactly are you trying to achieve?  A guest role cannot take a quiz because they do not have a unique id and, as such, they cannot receive a grade.

Allowing guests to preview a quiz has a lot of repercussions that need to be addressed.  e.g.  A student could log in as a guest, preview a quiz and autofill all the correct answers....   

Have you looked at the feedback activity?  It allows for total anonymous entry and allows you to collect information from guests in your site...

Hi Mary,

I am simply trying to accomplish what the documentation indicates I should be able to do - allow Guest to preview a quiz.  However, I'm not even getting the Preview option nor do the quizzes show up in the course.

Hello there. I edited my earlier post so you maybe didn't see it. I don't believe the guests previewing quizzes works anymore and so I removed the reference from the documentation.

Thanks Mary.  That makes sense because I have gone over everything and it doesn't work.

Thank you Emma.  Now that I know Guest access doesn't work, I will look at the feedback activity.  I think that is a better solution anyway.
