   2. The second is used when the assignment or quiz is open only to a few students (such as a make up exam). All other students will not have access to the assignment of quiz.
3. Select the Add Users to Special Access button.
4. Within this page you will set the unique date/time settings and conditions for the individual(s) you want to provide special access to and choose them from the class list here and then click on the Add Special Access button.
