Each user of ALP, tutor and student alike, must have been assigned a username and password by an existing administrator (i.e. a tutor already entered on to the system). The user must select their username from the drop-down list and type in their password. Once logged in a student will be able to see which ALP sections they can run, whilst an administrator will be able to set-up, modify and delete other user accounts and the user's section permissions.
Once a section has been run, the user will be logged out and will need to log back in to continue. This is to prevent subsequent different user's inheriting the identity of the current user.
