# YesWeCanQuiz: Allow visitors & guests to take quizzes!

## Overview

YesWeCanQuiz is a Moodle local plugin that enables **unauthenticated visitors** to take quizzes by automatically logging them in as a designated "public" user. By bypassing Moodle’s default guest restrictions on quiz attempts, this plugin allows you to:

- **Initiate New Quiz Attempts**: Visitors can start a new quiz attempt each time they access a quiz.
- **Centralize Tracking**: All quiz attempts are recorded under a single "public" user, facilitating monitoring and analysis of quiz activity outside of registered users.

## Features

- **Seamless Public Login**: Unauthenticated visitors are temporarily logged in as the public user when they click on a quiz link.
- **Fresh Quiz Attempts**: Each time a visitor accesses a quiz view page, any unfinished attempts are closed (or bypassed), ensuring a new attempt is initiated and preventing resumption of old attempts.
- **Automatic Session Handling**: The selected public user is active only within the quiz area and is automatically logged out when visitors leave.
- **Accurate Centralized Tracking**: All visitor quiz attempts are registered under the public user, allowing for comprehensive tracking of quiz activity.

## Installation

1. **Download the Plugin**: Download the YesWeCanQuiz plugin ZIP file.
2. **Access Plugin Installation**: In your Moodle site, navigate to `Site Administration → Plugins → Install plugins`.
3. **Upload and Install**: Upload the ZIP file and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

## Setup Instructions

1. **Configure the Plugin**: Navigate to `Site Administration → Plugins → Local Plugins → YesWeCanQuiz`.
2. **Select the "public" user**:
   - A dropdown list will display your manual accounts. Select the one you wish to use as the "public" user.

> [!WARNING]
> Do **not** select the default guest account. Moodle does not detect the default guest account >for quiz attempt bypass, so it will not work.

3. **Save Changes and Test**: Save your settings and test the plugin by accessing a quiz as an unauthenticated user. Every attempt will be recorded under the public user account.

> [!TIP]
> Create a dedicated role (e.g., "Quiz Only") that grants only the permissions to view and attempt >quizzes, and assign that role to your "public" user.

## Configuration & Recommendations

- **Dedicated Role for Public User**: It is essential to create a custom role with a minimal set of capabilities—only those necessary for viewing and attempting quizzes. Avoid granting additional privileges such as dashboard access, profile editing, or self-enrollment. This approach secures your site and ensures that only quiz-related functionalities are accessible to visitors.
- **Tracking Attempts**: All quiz attempts made by visitors will be registered under the public user account. While this allows you to track quiz activity, data will be consolidated under that single account.
- **Security Notice**: Misconfiguring the public user (by assigning it a role with excessive privileges) may expose sensitive site functions. Please configure the public user's role with extreme caution.

> [!CAUTION]
> **It is strongly advised to create a dedicated role with only the necessary capabilities to view and attempt quizzes and assign that role to the public user account**.
> The default guest account is not supported by this plugin, and configuring the public user with excessive privileges may compromise your site's security.
> The author and contributors of YesWeCanQuiz assume no liability for any issues arising from incorrect role configuration or misconfiguration of the public user account.
