# Proctoring Assessments When a Teacher Is Unavailable

If a teacher cannot administer a test in Aware, another user may be designated a test proctor to make tests available and unavailable to students on the teacher’s behalf. Alternatively, a user may be designated an administrator, depending on the rights assigned.

For instance, [users assigned the Test Proctoring Administration right will see](/v1/docs/proctoring-assessments-when-teacher-is-unavailable#users-with-the-test-proctoring-administration-right)**Proctor**under **Assessments**.

Users with a rostered course will see **Administer** under **Assessments**. However, if [users with a rostered course are assigned the Administer Local Assessments right](/v1/docs/proctoring-assessments-when-teacher-is-unavailable#teachers-with-the-administer-local-assessments-right) for their school or multiple schools, they will see a new tab called **Campus Administration** after selecting **Administer**. Under these circumstances, this type of user is considered a teacher.

Likewise, a school or district administrator is considered a [user with the Administer Local Assessments right but no rostered courses](/v1/docs/proctoring-assessments-when-teacher-is-unavailable#administrators-with-the-administer-local-assessments-right). Under these circumstances, this type of user would also see **Administer**under **Assessments**but will only see the Campus Administration table.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Users with the **Test Proctoring Administration** right will still see the **Proctor** option in the navigation if they also have the **Administer Local Assessments** right.

Each user type can start and stop assessments on a teacher’s behalf by following specific instructions, with each set described below.

## **Users With the Test Proctoring Administration Right**

Any user assigned the Test Proctoring Administration right can access limited test administration options of teachers at their school(s) by impersonating the **Tests Available** feature for those teachers. The user can then perform the following actions:

- Proctor any online tests that the teacher is allowed to administer
- Print plain paper answer documents, test booklets, and reference documents
- Preview online tests

**Step 1:**Select **Proctor** under **Assessments**.

## **Administrators With the Administer Local Assessments Right**

**Step 2:**Locate the assessment to administer in the **Campus Administration** table.
