In order to give an assessment, you must first publish it. For instructions, see Publishing an assessment. Once it's published, your assessment's availability depends on how you've configured certain settings:

• The assessment will be available only during the time frame you specified in the "Delivery Dates" setting. If you leave the "Delivery Dates" fields blank, your assessment will be available forever or until you retract it. For more information, see Retracting a published assessment.
• In the "Assessment released to:" setting, if you selected Anonymous, then anyone to whom you've given the URL can take the assessment. If you selected your site instead, then only site members will be able to take the assessment, either via the URL or from within the site. For more information, see Taking an assessment.
• If you listed specific IP addresses in the "High Security" setting, only people connecting from those computers will be able to access your assessment.
• If you created a secondary username and password in the "High Security" setting, people will need to authenticate with that username and password to gain access.

For more information on assessment settings, see Assessment settings.
