When Does it Work?

Which Permissions are Required and Why?

You can check the current permissions required by the plugin via the  Witwiser Browser Extension link.

 

"Capture content of your screen" authorization is required for screen recording at the time of the exam. Remember, even if this permission is given, it is not possible to record the screen without your approval when the screen recording will be started.

"Read and change all your data on all websites" We need this authorization to prevent you from visiting different websites during the exam. In some cases, your institution may allow certain websites to be opened. We need this authorization in order to control it in accordance with the settings made by your institution. Remember, the plugin is only active at the time of the exam.

"Identify and eject storage devices" authorization does not grant access to your files. We need this authorization to check the capabilities of your device. As can be understood from the name of the authorization, this authorization does not give access to the file system, but to the device information, to the relevant meta-data.
