Use Cases
---------
**Register as a exam supporter**
Registering as a new user is possible only within the SEB Server form-registration yet. Since the SEB Server is mainly a service for administrative work,
there is no third party registration and login in place so far. A self-registered user-account has the single role of an
Exam Supporter and since this user-account is not applied to an exiting exam and running, the user is only able to see and edit its own account settings.
Another user with Exam Administrator role can then assign the new user-account to an exam for support and monitoring. Or one other user-account with
Institution Administrator role can edit the new user-account and give it more privileges.
To register a new user-account follow the steps below
- Use a Web-Browser and go to the SEB Server login page by entering the SEB Server URL.
- Click the "Register" action on the login page that is shown right after the "Sign In" action.
- The application will show the registration form. See the image below.
- Enter all mandatory account data within the form and use the "Register" action to confirm.
- If there is missing or wrong data, the registration form will highlight the concerned input fields with a red border and information text just below the field.
- If everything is accepted the user-account is created and the application forwards automatically to the login page.
- Sign in with the user credentials to check the account works correctly.
