Should you need to, you also have the option to delete the user by checking the "Delete User" checkbox and the Update Information button. **Note:** Once a user has taken any content, you will no longer be permitted to delete the user, instead, use the "Is Activated" checkbox in the edit user access page. This feature is only available to Superusers.   ---   #### **Advanced User Settings** **No Charge Exception Override Options** If you are charging users to take tests or other content and you would like to exclude a user from being charged, you can select the checkbox labeled "Override No Charge Exception Settings." For most users, you will leave this box left unchecked. **Time Zone Settings** Often times, you will want to override your default time zone settings for particular users. You can easily set a user's time zone under Time Zone Settings. Time zones can also be set by user assignments to User Groups or by way of default settings maintained by your GAUGE/test.com representative. If you are unsure which value to select, choose the Ignore This Setting choice. **Language and Country Settings** The language and country setting are used to help identify users with languages and countries. The value set here will supersede any other value specified in this application. The language and country value can also be set by user assignments to User Groups or by way of default settings maintained by your GAUGE/test.com representative. If you are unsure which value to select, choose the Ignore This Setting choice. When you are finished making any changes be sure to save your changes by clicking the "Update Information" button at the bottom of the page. - [Getting Started](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Gauge Basics](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#gauge-basics) - [Quick Tour](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#quick-tour) - [List of Features](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#list-of-features) - [Help Videos](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#help-videos) - [Knowledge Center](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/knowledge-center?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Authoring & Editing Tests](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/knowledge-center?hsLang=en#authoring-editing-tests) - [Adding and Editing Lessons](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/knowledge-center?hsLang=en#adding-and-editing-lessons) - [Media](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/knowledge-center?hsLang=en#media) - [Misc Settings](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/knowledge-center?hsLang=en#misc-settings) - [Adding and Managing Users](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/knowledge-center?hsLang=en#adding-and-managing-users) - [Courses and Programs](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/knowledge-center?hsLang=en#courses-and-programs) - [Notifications and Emails](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/knowledge-center?hsLang=en#notifications-and-emails) - [Common Questions](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Top Questions](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#top-questions) - [User Access](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#user-access) - [Programs and Certifications](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#programs-and-certifications) - [Results and Reports](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#results-and-reports) - [Customization](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#customization) - [Media](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#media) - [Proctoring](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#proctoring) - [Tests and Content](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#tests-and-content) - [Accessing Gauge](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#accessing-gauge) - [For Test Takers](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#for-test-takers) - [Account and Billing](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#account-and-billing) - [Advanced Features and Settings](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#advanced-features-and-settings) - [Email Notifications](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#email-notifications) - [Beta Test Builder and Editor](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/beta-test-builder-and-editor?hsLang=en) - [Interested in becoming a Gauge customer?](https://support.gaugeonline.com/knowledge/interested-in-becoming-a-gauge-customer?hsLang=en) # Gauge by test.com gaugeonline.com Help Center Copyright © 2026, Gauge by test.com
