Security & Permissions
One of our top priorities
Configure security and permissions at the application and survey levels
At the survey level, Checkbox Survey allows you to configure an array of security options for each survey, including respondent permissions (public, password protected, registered users, or access control list), behavior of the browser back and forward buttons, survey start and end date, and the maximum number of times the survey can be taken.
At the application level, Checkbox allows you to set permissions independently for features, including survey manager, folders, reports, libraries, and invitations. To facilitate the configuration of security, Checkbox Survey comes preconfigured with security settings for a number of common user roles (e.g. survey administrator and report administrator). And with Active Directory/LDAP support, integrating with existing security infrastructure is painless.
Multiuser Role Based Environment
With Checkbox Survey's User Management functionality, role based permissions can be used to give administrative users access to only what they need. For example, each Survey Administrator can edit their own surveys and grant other users permissions to them if they choose, while System Administrators can edit any survey.
Multiple Levels of Survey Security
Surveys can be created with a variety of access types, including public, password protected, registered users only, or custom access control list (only specified users and user groups). Administrators can also disable the 'password reset' option for additional security
or set surveys as anonymous, even for use with registered users.
Active Directory Integration
Checkbox can integrate with Active Directory (NT Domain) via LDAP to authenticate users for both the administrative functions as well as for taking surveys.
Cookie or Cookieless Sessions
Checkbox supports both cookie based authentication and cookie-less authentication. In addition, the name of the cookie can be changed to allow for multiple installations on the same hardware.
SSL Support
All areas of Checkbox Survey support industry standard SSL encryption, allowing for secure communications between the browser and web server.
Set Response Limits
Surveys can be configured to limit the total number of responses, the number of responses per respondent, and the survey start and end dates.
Checkbox Survey also has support for SSL* at both the application and survey levels. This allows data to be encrypted from the browser back to the server using internet standard third party certificates.
* Shared SSL certificate is used for Checkbox Online; SSL certificate not included with Checkbox Server.
