Note - If a test with LockDown Browser (LDB) enabled is copied over to Ultra from Bb Original, the test comes over with the "Access Code Required" setting enabled.  This setting is independent to the LDB settings and should not be turned on as it blocks student access to the exam. The Access Code Required field must be toggled to Off in the Assessment Settings Panel accessed through the Gear Icon.
