  2. From the list under "Assessment Released To", choose to release the assessment to site members or to anonymous users.

  3. Under "High Security", you can use one or both of the following options:

    • To restrict access to only certain computers on the Internet, select Allow only specified IP Addresses, and enter the IP addresses of those computers.
    • To require a secondary username and password, select Secondary ID and Password, and then fill in the "Username" and "Password" fields.
