# Blocking a user's access to the exam page

At the beginning of each exam, the CSE or the main proctor must suspend the access to the exam page for all the students that are not present in the room. To do this, after the attendance check, go to the **list of participants** on the exam page by clicking on the "**Participants**" button in the top menu.

Next, you can **filter the list of participants** according to the initials of the first and last names (1). So **select** the first letter of the student's **last name**, **THEN** the first letter of the **first name**.

In the list of students, **find the name of the student** (2), then **open the parameters** by clicking on the wheel to the right of the status (3).

**Make sure** you are opening the registration page for the **correct student**, then **change the status** from "Active" to "**Suspended**". Then **save the changes**.

You can **check that the student's access has been blocked** when their status is displayed as **suspended**.

**Repeat** for each absent student.
