FlexiQuiz Administrator accounts
Administrators (also known as Admins) have access to almost everything on your FlexiQuiz account including quizzes, users, groups and reports.
However, you can set permissions so that extra Admins can only access relevant parts of the quiz making process. So, you can give extra Admins access to everything or you can set permissions to only access what is relevant. For example, the Admin can create or edit quizzes but not view or delete results.

Top tips!
- To maintain your account's security, we recommend that the main Admin reviews Admin and Trainer access regularly.
- You can assign quizzes for Admins and Trainers to complete as a test-taker without needing an additional Respondent account. Admins and Trainers can access quizzes from the Assigned Quizzes tab which appears at the top of the page when quizzes are allocated.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I delete an Admin account?
All quizzes and courses created and managed by a user in an Administrator role, are assigned to the primary Admin.
All results from quizzes which the user took as a test-taker are deleted. This complies with GDPR rules. We cannot recover any deleted data.
How many additional Administrators can I add to my account?
If you have a Premium plan, you can add 1 extra Administrator or Trainer.
If you have the Enterprise plan, you can add up to 14 extra Administrators or Trainers.
You can easily add additional Administrators and Trainers to a Premium, Enterprise or Enterprise+ plan for only $7 a month.
Can the additional Administrators contact the FlexiQuiz support team?
FlexiQuiz can only respond to emails from Administrators or Trainers if the username on their account matches the email address they are contacting us from.
What is the difference between an Administrator and Trainer account?
An Administrator account has access to all quizzes, users, groups and reports linked to the main account based on the permissions you set. Administrators can also access billing information and custom email notifications.
A Trainer account only has access to assigned quizzes, groups, users and reports based on the permissions you set.
Can extra Admins make their own quizzes using the premium features on my FlexiQuiz account?
Yes, extra Admins can make quizzes if the permission box for Create/Edit quizzes has a tick. They can access all features including the question bank, images, video and audio.
When I try and add the new user, I get the message "Username is already being used and is not available". What should I do next?
The username must be unique across our whole platform and not just linked to your FlexiQuiz account.
If you get a message that the username is already in use, the user might be linked to a different FlexiQuiz account or they created one.
You have three options:
- Ask the user to delete their existing FlexiQuiz account. They can do this by logging in and selecting Settings from the top menu. There is a button to delete their FlexiQuiz account.
- Ask the user to change the username on their existing account.
- You need to provide a different email address for the username
