Management Guide / Permissions With a URL for SEB / Creating a URL

Creating a URL

Here is the process for creating a URL to enable exam mode in Antidote Web and adding parameters to grant or restrict access to tools and content. You can use this custom URL to conduct an exam with Safe Exam Browser (SEB).

Enabling Antidote Web’s Exam Mode

The following link opens Antidote Web in exam mode: https://antidote.app/exam.

Students will have access to all the tools and content available to their group. This mode will remain enabled until the student quits SEB.

Warning — Use the URLhttps://antidote.app/exam only for your exams in SEB. If you use it in a different browser, Antidote Web might remain in exam mode because of the cache and cookies, even if you change the URL. To manage Antidote Web access in a different browser, use the group permissions instead.

Using Parameters to Grant Access to Antidote Web’s Tools and Content

Include parameters in the URL https://antidote.app/exam to restrict access to parts of Antidote Web during an exam with SEB. Only the tools and content specified by the parameters will be available.

The parameters always consist of a key and a list of values. Once you add a key, it will restrict access to everything related to it. You must therefore add values to allow access to specific tools and content.

Parameter Key Description
tools Allows you to specify which tools are permitted.
optCorr Allows you to specify which views in Correction mode are permitted (Language or Typography).
lang Allows you to specify the languages whose content is permitted if Antidote handles both English and French.
This parameter does not affect the display language in the Antidote Web interface.

The “tools” Key

Value Description Example
corr Allows access to Correction mode and all its views and filters. ?tools=corr
reformul Allows access to the corrector’s Reformulation mode.
This value must always be used with corr.		 ?tools=corr,reformul
dict Allows access to all dictionaries. ?tools=dict
guides Allows access to all language guides. ?tools=guides
data Allows access to student data (personal dictionaries,
custom rules, recent texts and favourites).		 ?tools=data

The “optCorr” Key

This key automatically restricts access to every view in Correction mode. The values allow you to grant access to the Language view or Typography view (or both), but not the others: Style, Anti-Oops!, Revision, Statistics and Inspection. For example, you cannot grant access only to the Language view and Style view filters.

Value Description Example
lang Allows detections in the corrector’s Language view. ?tools=corr&optCorr=lang
typo Allows detections in the corrector’s Typography view. ?tools=corr&optCorr=typo

The “lang” Key

If the subscription assigned to students handles both English and French, this key allows you to grant access to only one language.

Value Description Example
en Allows access to English content in authorized tools. ?lang=en
fr Allows access to French content in authorized tools. ?lang=fr

How to Write the Parameters

  • The first key is introduced by a question mark (?). If you add more than one key, separate them with an ampersand (&).
  • The value of a key is introduced by the equal sign (=). If you add more than one value, separate them with a comma (,) without spaces.
  • The order of the parameters in the URL does not matter.

Note — These parameters will not override the restrictions configured in the group permissions. For example, if a group’s access to the corrector’s Reformulation mode is restricted, the URL parameters will not allow them to use it during the exam in SEB.

Examples of Antidote Web Use in Exam Mode

Example 1 — Access to the dictionaries and language guides in English only, without the corrector

  • tools key with the values dict and guides, separated by a comma
  • lang key with the value en

Complete URL: https://antidote.app/exam?tools=dict,guides&lang=en

Example 2 — Access to the dictionaries and the corrector’s Language and Typography views, in English and French, without reformulation and the other corrector views

  • tools key with the values dict and corr, separated by a comma
  • optCorr key with the values lang and typo, separated by a comma

Complete URL: https://antidote.app/exam?tools=dict,corr&optCorr=lang,typo
