Survey users and survey user groups help survey administrators control who can take a
survey.
Survey administrators can restrict a survey so that only specified users can access it unless a
survey administrator manually assigns the survey to a different user. Survey user groups provide
a way to quickly designate multiple survey users.
Administering survey users
The list of survey users for a survey is visible on the Survey Definition and Survey Category
forms. You can add or remove users from the list of survey users at any point. Note that
designating a survey user does not automatically generate a survey instance for that user unless
both of the following conditions are true:
- The survey definition Schedule period is set to
Daily, Weekly, Monthly,
or Yearly. In this case the system assigns a new survey instance to
each survey user at the beginning of each schedule period.
- The user has no instances of the survey that are incomplete or that have not yet reached
their expiration date.
You can designate survey users from the Survey Designer, the Survey Definition form, or the
Survey Category form.
Note: If there are trigger conditions for a survey, do not
create survey users. Instead, use the Trigger Conditions form to assign users.
