Enabling Obsyra for Learning (Internal Certification Exams)

【Where to configure】

Go to Admin → Learning → Exams (internal certification exams) and open the "Proctoring (Obsyra)" button on the list screen. Configuration requires the learning-admin permission (admin:learning). This is a dedicated Learning screen, separate from recruitment aptitude tests.

【Difference from recruitment: one tenant-wide policy】

Recruitment configures monitoring per exam, but Learning uses a single "Learning exam monitoring" setting that applies to all internal certification exams. There is no per-exam on/off.

【How to enable】

1. 1.Open the "Proctoring (Obsyra)" screen above.
2. 2.Turn on "Enable monitoring for learning exams".
3. 3.Set the options below as needed.

It is off by default. While off, the exam flow is unchanged and test-takers are unaffected. The moment you turn it on, monitoring begins for subsequent internal certification exams.

【Options you can set】

· Require webcam: Makes granting webcam access mandatory to take the exam. Test-takers cannot start without allowing the camera. The camera approach and privacy are the same as "Configuring the required-webcam mode" (#OBS-004).

· Capture interval: The interval (seconds) between camera snapshots. Default 30s, minimum 5s.

· Retention period: How many days captured snapshots are kept. Default 90 days; auto-deleted afterward.

· Obstruction detection: Detects when the camera is covered by a hand or object, goes dark, and so on.

· Automation block: Detects and blocks traces of taking the exam via automation tools (bots).

【What monitoring covers (enforcement is fixed to "record")】

For Learning, Obsyra handles camera monitoring, obstruction detection, automation blocking, and human review of high-risk sessions. "Locking" the exam — forcing full-screen or suppressing copy/paste — is handled by each internal exam's own settings (anti-cheat settings), so Obsyra does not duplicate it. Therefore, enabling Obsyra does not by itself lock the exam or auto-submit answers.

【What happens after enabling】

· A risk score is composed from the camera footage and behavior during the exam. A single action is never treated as a verdict.

· Only high-risk sessions enter the review queue, where staff review and decide (approve / flag / reject).

· Pass/fail is never changed automatically. A person always makes the final call.

【What it cannot do (told plainly)】

· It cannot detect actions outside the browser — copying while looking at another device or paper, or help from someone in the room.

· No face recognition / identity matching. It stores snapshots for a person to review visually.

【About eligible devices】

If webcam is required, the exam cannot be taken on devices without a camera. Ask test-takers to use an up-to-date browser on a PC or tablet with a camera.
