- Verify that going to Site Administration -> Plugin -> Plugin overview, no uninstall link is available for core quiz access rules
- Install some third party quiz access rules available in the plugin directory https://moodle.org/plugins/browse.php?list=category&id=41 (I tested quizaccess_honestycheck, quizaccess_reattemptchecker, quizaccesspassgrade that don't need you to install anything else, I was too lazy to test quizaccess_safeexambrowser, quiraccess_supervizedcheck
- as a teacher create a quiz with additional restrictions on attempts using the access rules you have installed (warning passgrade and reattemptchecker are currently buggy and need that you use the quiz rawgrade (sum of question grades) and not the quiz grade, so for instance if your quiz has 4 questions with 1 as grade each, set the "required grade" to 4 even if your quiz has a 10 as grade)
- as a student attempt the quiz and verify that the rule massages are displayed (WARNING don't fails this issue is something seems wrong or odd in the access rule, we need to make some attempts as a student before and after removal of the attempt rule plugin just to verify nothing wrong happen, for instance the site is not broken after we remove the plugin as reported by a Moodle user in this forum thread: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=317239)
- login as Administrator and going to Site Administration -> Plugins -> Plugins overview, verify that an uninstall link is displayed for each third party quiz access rule
- uninstall these plugins
- go to the quiz both as a teacher and as a student and verify nothing is broken

After reviewing https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=quizaccess_honestycheck I realized there does not appear to be a way to remove access rule addons via the Moodle UI. Typically plugins provide a way to be removed. For example, consider the assignment submission plugins that provide mod/assign/adminmanageplugins.php?subtype=assignsubmission. I would expect something similar to allow for hiding a rule, managing any possible settings, and ultimately deleting the plugin.
I suspect currently the expected practice would simply be to remove the code; however, the quizaccess_honesty table would remain in the database (which is not necessarily a problem if you want to provide a soft delete of the addon) but I would expect the table's data to be cleaned up.
What is the ideal way for administering access rules? Would a site administration -> plugins page be helpful?
