Set Poll Security

Help Center > QuickPoll Help Center > Set Poll Security

To set or change the security on your poll, follow these steps:

  1. On the QuickPoll home page, click on the title of the poll. You will move to the overview page.
  2. Click Settings in the global navigation in the upper right.
  3. Select a security setting to control who can view and take the poll. Choose from the following security settings:

    Anyone: This means that anyone with the poll URL can view and take your poll. Also, participants are able to submit multiple times.
    Anyone with a UW NetID: This security setting requires people who try accessing your poll to log in with their UW NetID and password. You will be able to choose later to allow participants to submit votes multiple times or just once.
    Members of a specific group (Group Manager): This security setting also prompts participants to log in with a UW NetID, but only allows members of a group you create with the Catalyst Group Manager tool to view and access the poll. You will be able to choose later to allow participants to submit votes multiple times or just once.
    When creating a group, you can select a course you are teaching to automatically add all the students to your group. Group Manager will update the group members nightly, as students add or drop your course.
  4. When you are done modifying the security setting for the poll, click Save at the bottom of the page.
