Editing a Certificate
You can modify an existing certificate if changes are required after it has been created.
To do so, click the three-dot menu (⋮) next to the certificate name and select Edit.
This will reopen the certificate configuration form. You can:
-
Modify displayed content (title, logos, score, etc.)
-
Change the certificate validity
-
Adjust visual components like uploaded images.
Manage Access to Certificates
The admin role can grant or revoke candidates’ permissions to view the certificates earned in both the My Certificates section, accessible from the candidate’s profile, and the test’s Personal Report page.
To provide users with access to their certificates, kindly proceed through the following steps:
- On the main menu, navigate to Users, then select the Roles and permissions option.
- Select the desired role and the Edit option in the Actions column.
Scroll down for the Enable viewing of achieved certificates permission in the permissions list and check the box beside it.
To save the changes, click the Update button at the bottom of the permissions list.
Subsequently, the My Achieved certificates section will become visible within the candidate’s profile and on personal reports for completed tests.
