In some cases, you will see the Default Presenter assigned to a section or schedule. This occurs when the only person assigned to the section has been deleted from the system. Every section MUST have a person assigned, and to fill the void, the ESS automatically assigns the Default Presenter. The Default Presenter is then also passed through to scheduled captures for the section.
The Default Presenter is not a real person; it is a system generated user and cannot be deleted. Once you assign a new person to the section (to replace the deleted user), you can remove the Default Presenter from the section, and edit any upcoming Schedules to use the assigned person and not Default Presenter. To see which schedules have Default Presenters assigned, navigate to Schedule > Schedules and then:
Changing only a few schedules can be done individually. See Manage Schedules with Default Presenter as Instructor. However, if a large number of schedules must be changed, you may want to use the Import Schedules feature. |

External System Id | External System Id fields are not inherited from the organization. They appear only here, on the section page. If you have a learning management system (LMS), populate this field with the LMS ID for the course or section. If you are using LTI-Based Publishing, the population of this field is required in order for the ESS to provide the appropriate content to the LMS user. See Configure ESS Sections to Publish to LMS Courses for a table that describes where in the LMS to find the course or section ID to enter into this field. Multiple External System Id fields are available in the event you need more than one. For example, you may have multiple sections in the LMS that link to a single ESS section. Or you may use more than one LMS that needs to connect to a single ESS section. | N/A | ||||||

The Security Settings area of the Edit Section page shown in the figure below , allows you to select a security module for the section. This determines how (or if) students will be authenticated. The options in the list are determined by what Security Modules you have configured. The Security Setting configured for the Organization appears as the default.
...
Allow All does not authenticate users for access, and, therefore, implements the Standard version of the EchoCenter, without collaboration capabilities or statistics information.
Authentication Required uses either the ESS user information or an external Trusted System such as CAS or Shibboleth to authenticate users. You can also configure the LMS (like Blackboard or Moodle) as as a trusted system to authenticate users. This configuration requires users to access EchoCenter through the LMS.
