User overrides in Moodle allow instructors to grant special accommodations for individual students or groups in activities such as quizzes and assignments. This feature is useful for extending deadlines, allowing extra attempts, or adjusting time limits for accessibility needs or special circumstances.

Steps to Set a User Override

1. Navigate to the Quiz
   • Go to your course page and click on the activity you want to modify.
2. Access the Overrides Settings
   • Select Overrides from the Quiz Administration menu.

• If you don’t see the Quiz Administration menu click the arrow at the top right of your screen.

3. Add a New Override
   • Click the Add user override button.
4. Configure Override Options
   • Select a Student: Use the dropdown menu to choose the student who needs the override. You can search by name.
   • Adjust the Allowed Attempts: Change the number of attempts permitted if necessary.
   • Set a Different Time Limit: Modify the time limit (if the quiz has a time restriction).
   • Change Availability Dates: Adjust the quiz open and close dates for the selected student.
5. Save the Override
   • Click Save or Save and enter another override if you need to add multiple user overrides.

Steps to Set a Group Override

1. Follow the same steps above, but instead of User Overrides, select Group Overrides in the override settings.

2. Choose the appropriate group from the dropdown list.
3. Apply the necessary changes to time limits, attempt numbers, or availability.
4. Click Save.
