Individuals categorized under this user type, can be assigned to one or more classes as someone who is managing the class.  Once assigned, these users can create, edit and activate tests and perform other class-specific tasks. **Test Takers** Anyone who takes a test as a "test taker".  Your test-taking audience may consist of *employees, trainees, students, customers or users.  *The label, "Test Taker" can be changed. This category of user can only login to the Tester.  Access is limited to the Classes in which they are enrolled.  ### Taking a Test TG Desktop and TG LAN users log in to a Windows Tester. [TG Web](https://www.testshop.com/tg-web) users log in to a web Tester (intra- or internet). TG also supports [AD/LDAP](https://www.testshop.com/tg-options), optional. In order for your audience to be able to log in and take a test, they need to have a user profile in TG's database. There are two out-of-the-box methods for doing that. Using the TG admin client: 1- You can manually create individual user profiles... 2- Or you can import your test takers by using a TG-friendly file format.  ### Proctors Administrators can also create one or more Instructor profiles to enable access to tests that require a proctor login in order to take a test.Uses: high-stakes, promotions-based testing. The proctor role can also be used to manage one or more courses and tests, enrolling users, viewing, printing and exporting test data. ### Tutorial Here's a short tutorial describing one of these methods.  For more details and a demonstration of other methods, please contact us. ### Self-Registration Test Generator's self-registration [forms](https://www.testshop.com/registration-forms) are Ideal for customers who:  - Don’t have time to manage adding users into TG - Are selling test content to an industry audience - Need to enroll reseller technical / support staff ## Contact - +1-928-380-6570 - [support@testshop.com](mailto:) - - - ## company - [About Us](https://www.testshop.com/about-new) - [Support](https://www.testshop.com/tg-support-request) - [Blog](https://www.testshop.com/blog) ## Recent post [![Testshop](https://www.testshop.com/hs-fs/hub/95240/file-2211619311.png?width=34&name=file-2211619311.png "Testshop")](https://www.testshop.com) Testshop 2024.
