I am currently trying to build an app that uses the Take a Test Api to offer exams in a secure environment.
As I am working in higher education, I dont have direct access to students computers. A student could potentially take different exams on different computers and the school has no direct connection to a students device.
Is it even possible to use this API in this case? All of the documentation about configuring talk about connecting to MDM and group policies which we would not have control over.

Take a Testis essentially a Javascript component. Are you using UWP for development? Have you tried the API in this document, can it be called on your device? -

2020-09-18T22:56:28.887+00:00 Hi @Richard Zhang-MSFT . Yes. I am using UWP for development. My goal is to be able to have a native application that uses the Javascript component in a web view. I have yet to find a way for me to be able to access this API from the web view. The device I am working on does have the ability to create a take the test account so I know that the feature is available. The documentation only talks about using the api once accessible but does not talk about setting up access to the api.

2020-09-21T01:21:26.67+00:00 Hello, is your UWP based on Javascript (.jsproj) or other languages such as C# (.csproj)? You mentioned that you need to access
Take a TestinWebView. Do you need a method to inject Javascript in WebView? -

2020-09-21T01:35:26.833+00:00 The project is built in C++. I can access the Windows Runtime for Javascript in the web view but am unsure of how make the SecureBrowser object available in the webview.

2020-09-22T01:50:17.337+00:00 Hello, it is currently not possible to directly call the Take a Test API through Javascript in the UWP WebView. The
SecureBroswerobject needs to be called in a special environment (the so-called secure browser). It is suitable for web development and uses the built-in system Take a Test app to browse.
